A total of 6,335 legal size trout will be stocked in the lake between Gaston and Forest Grove, with 2,500 "trophy" trout stocked in the same time period. Trophy trout, which are trout at least 15 inches in length, have been stocked for 10 years since a pilot program began in 2016, according to the ODFW.

Dorman Pond, the small fishing hole just west of the junction of Highways 6 and 8 in Gales Creek, is set to receive 1,200 legal size rainbow trout between April 27 and May 1. It will be the third time the pond has been stocked this year, bringing the total to 3,200 legal size trout stocked.
