Rainbow Trout species guide

Tim Ponds is a small pond located next to Highway 12. It is stocked with catchable sized rainbow trout and also jumbo rainbow trout. Anglers can expect excellent fishing throughout the spring and early summer. Fishing success for Rainbow Trout is generally best in the spring when thousands of fish are stocked. Success remains high into June, and fish that escaped the spring harvest return to the nearshore areas in the fall. Some waters may also be stocked again in the fall further boosting catch rates.
