Ever wonder how a trout plant works?

I was lucky enough to witness a trout plant recently at a local lake, and it was fun to watch.

I found myself dumbfounded with another half dozen anglers when the truck pulled up to the water’s edge and began dumping whopper after whopper into the lake.

The handful of us greeted the display like kids cheering on the ice cream truck on a hot Saturday afternoon. Only this truck wasn't handing out Popsicles, it was dishing out 2- to 3-pound rainbows.
