DNR stocked 5,228 rainbow trout in five different lakes and streams across Indiana this month.
Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station had a surplus of trout, which allowed for these additional stockings. The stocked surplus trout are greater than seven inches on average.
Stocking locations included:
- Pinhook Lake (South Bend, St. Joseph County) – 400 fish
- Fancher Lake (Crown Point, Lake County) – 1,000 fish
- Delaware Lake (Fort Harrison State Park, Marion County) – 700 fish
- Cedar Lake (Whitley County) – 2,128 fish
- Brookville Reservoir Tailwater (Franklin County) – 1,000 fish
Anglers age 18 and older need an Indiana fishing license and a trout/salmon stamp to fish for trout. The bag limit for trout in inland waters, other than Lake Michigan and its tributaries, is five fish per day with a minimum size limit of seven inches.
