The DNR has recently stocked more than 9,000 surplus rainbow trout, thanks to a strong production season at Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station.

The surplus trout range from 6 to 8 inches long. Fish were stocked at the following locations:

• Pinhook Lagoon, St. Joseph County – 1,600 fish

• Garvin Park Lake, Vanderburgh County – 500 fish

Additional fish will be stocked at Maple Avenue Park Lake in Vigo County Nov. 5. Hatcheries biologists expect to stock around 1,150 fish. An exact stocking time will not be given, to prevent crowding around stocking trucks.

DNR also recently stocked 300 rainbow trout at Johnson Lake in Jefferson County, 405 trout at Oak Lake in Clark State Forest, and 550 trout at Garvin Park lake in Evansville as part of regular annual fall stockings.

Anglers 18 and older must have a valid Indiana fishing license and trout stamp. Each can be purchased at on.IN.gov/INhuntfish. The catch limit per angler is five trout.
