re: Rainbow Trout in BREC ponds

I tried at the perkins park lake and didn't catch sheyat.

However, I think it is a great idea. When I lived in Monterey, CA back in the early 90's, the local recreation department would do this same thing.
They would sod the banks of the lake and it brought tons of people out with picnics, etc. It was a great time.

I'm sure the vision is the same for Baton Rouge.
It isn't working out quite the same, but I hope they keep doing it.
