TROUT TO BE STOCKED IN 13 LOCATIONS FOR SPRING FISHING - Tom Keith

Lincoln, Neb. – Anglers anxious to get back on the water after being cooped-up inside all winter will have their chance to do some trout fishing in mid-March when the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission stocks 10-12 inch rainbow trout in 13 eastern and central Nebraska locations.

The locations selected for this years early season trout stockings are: Bowling Lake in Lincoln; Haworth Park Pond in Bellevue; Pawnee Park East Pond in Columbus.; Fremont State Recreation Area Lake No. 5; Windmill State Recreation Area Lake No. 1 near Gibbon; Heartwell Park Pond in Hastings; Steinhart Park Pond in Nebraska City; ONeill City Lake (Carney Park); the middle lake at Crystal Springs Lakes in Fairbury; Ta-Ha-Zouka Park Lake in Norfolk; Suchs lake in Grand Island; Lexington City Park Lake; and Barnett Park Pond in McCook.

Anglers of all ages, sizes and descriptions enjoy catching trout. Hatchery fish, such as those being stocked for spring fishing, can be taken on basic types of fishing equipment ranging from cane poles to fly rods and bite on a variety of baits such as marshmallows, nightcrawlers, small spinners and artificial flies.

Trout are coldwater fish that are found year-round only in northwest and north- central Nebraska. They are usually stocked in several lakes across the state during the winter months to provide anglers the chance to catch them through the ice.

State law requires anglers 16-years and older to have a current Nebraska Fishing Permit and a Nebraska Aquatic Habitat Stamp, except that an Aquatic Habitat Stamp is not required of those under 18 years, those who possess a lifetime fishing permit, or those who have a fee-exempt permit. Those planning to fish at a recreation area will also need a 2005 Nebraska park entry permit. Permits and stamps are available online at www.outdoornebraska.org, from any Game and Parks Commission district office, or any vendor selling permits and licenses.
