Anyone know where I can find a stocking schedule for IE lakes?

Thank you.
Even tho the lake is over a 100ft deep the trout won't hold over so I was told because of to much water exchange they buy and sell water. Weird because lake cuyamaca is only 15ft deep at the dam and trout hold over year round. The trout food at the hatcheries has alot to do with the taste. I call it muddy bottom taste it's gotten better over the years.
These trout are from wright's hatchery in Idaho they taste good
