Trout Season To Begin At Reston Lake Fairfax
Passes for fishing available for purchase.
http://www.reston-connection.com/news/2014/feb/20/trout-season-begin-reston-lake-fairfax/

Fishermen who enjoy catching trout are invited to participate in the 2014 trout season Feb. 14 through May 4. Due to inclement weather, the county delayed the event for a week. "The county was trying to not encourage water activities when the lake was frozen over," said Lake Fairfax park employee Dustin Meyers. One thousand pounds of rainbow trout and 200 pounds of golden trout will soon be in the waters of Lake Fairfax Park in Reston. This 20-acre lake will be restocked five times during the spring season by Cast-a-line of Goshen, Va.

#"We just need the weather to cooperate," said Lake Fairfax park manager Dan Grulke. "Our opening event is all dependent on when the ice is off the lake." Fishing regulations at the lake require that passes are displayed at all times. In addition to a Virginia state fishing license a trout fishing permit from the park is required for the duration of the season. A Virginia state trout license is not required.

#Passes are now available for purchase between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the park’s administration building. Daily passes are $15 per adult, $10 per senior, and $7.50 per child. Spring passes are $60 per adult, $45 per senior, and $30 per child. Fall passes are $22 per adult, $17 per senior, and $12 per child. The cost for an annual pass is $70 per adult, $52.50 per senior, and $45 per child.

#A second fall stocking season will run from Oct. 11 through Nov. 9. The fall season includes two stockings and is covered by the annual pass. The park is open dawn to dusk. Only one pole and/or line may be used at one time, and there is a six fish daily limit. Netting, snagging, and chumming are prohibited.

I think it would be more enjoyable going down to Main Avenue and buying a couple of rockfish or a bushel of crabs than wasting my time tossing corn at hatchery stocked trout. Fishing for hatchery stocked fish has got to be the saddest kind of fishing there is, and how people reap any enjoyment out of it is beyond me.

I'll be at Burke Lake fishing for Trouser Trout. That's where all the big ones are. Usually in bike spandex too. Yum.

I did it a few times, It was pretty sad, You looked around and it was pathetic. People with $500 worth of equipment wading in the water for stocked fish. I knew What It meant to be from Northern VA from that point on.

It takes a long time, yet its very exciting! yet these animals are about under extinction rates so not a lot of trout would be good

This. It's pitiful.

I can see fishing for trout in western VA, but even there all you're going to catch is little turds. Not like in the west or north of here where you can catch fish of a decent size.

Too many better fishing opportunities around here to bother with that mess.

Back when I would go to this fuck fest, It was $7 per adult. I think a 7 trout limit for the day? Not a bad price for trout.

Very pitiful way to fish, I think one year some mexicans came in at night with a net and cleaned it out. Back then, they would stock the small stream also. Not sure if that's the case now.
