They released them at Swanton at about 10:30 am yesterday (Thurs). I was there 11-2, along with maybe 20-25 other anglers. Saw three trout taken the whole time. Not sure why they weren't biting, but you could see them all over the place. Had a few light hits on spinners, but only one good hit, and he jumped and threw the hook as I got him close.

Checked it out again the morning for 90 minutes, and the parking lot was full--still looked like most guys were getting skunked. Saw two trout taken in 90 minutes this morning. Some of the old timers were clearly frustrated: "This is a joke!" I heard some saying the other release spots were doing better. Maybe they just need a day or two to get acclimated to the water.

Guys are fishing crank bait, spinners, corn, power bait, etc.

i'm glad everyone got skunked...i dont see the point of sitting by the dump-off point to catch fish that are coming out of the truck...why not just go to the store and buy some fish? To me thats not fishing. The DNR needs to stop posting its release times/dates. The reservoirs would be better areas to fish if/when they actually get stocked with plenty of fish

That is what the DNR wants, you to get them. I'll be trying Fostoria probably Friday for some trout.
