DNR to Release More Trout in Banner Lakes

DES MOINES -The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is planning one more trout stocking at Banner Lakes at Summerset State Park, north of Indianola.

The DNR will stock an estimated 1,000 catchable sized trout around noon on March 25, in the 59-acre lake. "If we can get the weather to cooperate, we would like to use a boat to release the fish throughout the lake instead of just at the boat ramp," said Dick McWilliams, fisheries biologist for the DNR.

Banner Lakes at Summerset State Park is the only central Iowa trout fishery. The trout are from the Big Springs hatchery near Elkader. Anglers who want to fish for the trout are required to purchase the trout privilege for $11 in addition to an Iowa fishing license. The daily bag limit for trout is five and the possession limit is 10.
