I love going to roaring river the catch trout because I did so often as a kid on family vacations. Has anyone been recently. I would love to go in the next few months.

Guy I know goes every year and loves it. I can't stand the trout parks so I've never been personally though. Quite a few lakes in KS have been stocked with trout recently, much bigger ones than most anything in RR too. 

Several people at work head out when trout season starts, but I prefer bass.  Less crowds in the winter.

For starters the biggest trout I ever caught was from Roaring River, a little over 3lb rainbow! I even made it into their "Lunker Club". Aaaahhhh childhood memories But that being said I have caught hundreds of small ones to get the few big ones. I have fished a few stocked places here in Kansas and the size has been pretty on par with roaring river and in several cases smaller. But they are from a small stream so that could be a big part of it. The parks department said they actually get their trout from MO to stock, but not sure if its Roaring river or not. I do agree that the trout park atmosphere is pretty lame, but I love fishing for them in a clear stream, you learn a lot by watching them react to your bait.

Has anyone fished the Kanopolis Seep stream? I know they have been making lots of improvements the last couple of years.
