06-27-2009.  There are no fish plants at Halsey Forebay because of a DFG settlement action with an environmental organization that filed a lawsuit.  Because of this, DFG is barred from planting trout in many lakes and streams all over California including Halsey.  All for the love of a red legged frog.  What a joke at Halsey.  Has anyone even seen a frog at this man-made impoundment???  DFG must do the research and file an Enviornmental Impact Report about the frog and the impact of the trout plants with the court, then the court may approve the replanting.  FYI - Boca and Prosser are also on the list of no fish plants.  See the DFG website.



John:
Why hasn't the D.F.G. been planting any fish ?  06-04-09

Fished morning and afternoon with no bites. Used power bait, eggs and lures. No go... 



John Rocklin:
It took putting in a lot of time to learn how to fish Hales with success. I moved to the area 3yrs. ago and Halsey was one of the first places my wife found  where she could fish in comfort. But the secret the locals won't give up is go fish it and learn; I ain't tell'en. But a stringer of trout most every time now wouldn't tell even the locals Ha'ha I got your fish.



Joey Rodregez:
Stock halsey on weekends so my kid could catch a fish.



Don L:
11.14.07 - I had the same score as last week: three bows' using a spinner in one hour. Three big changes: a trout plant, higher water level that moved out the leaf debris and algae, and a dozen fishermen on the wall. They were catching the planters using bait.



Don L:
11.08.07 - Didn't look like the scheduled trout plant took place this week or today. Can't complain: three bows' in one hour at dusk. One 3/4 pounds, the other two smaller. Lots of debris - leaves and algae. Wonder if they will plant Friday, 11.09.07?



master J:
