Depends on what hatchery they stock from....and the body of water. At McCutcheon Creek in Spring Hill they stock bigger fish than say at Normandy. Many of them will hit the 13 inch mark. Most stockers are from 6 to 10 inches or so. But in all stocking locations they will put a few that can go as big as 18 inches....but not many of those. People that catch those size fish get the mistaken notion that the trout can carry over at that location....they just don't know the hatchery puts a few big ones in each time they stock.
