INDIANOLA - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will stock 1,500 rainbow trout in South Banner Lake around noon on Feb. 1. The DNR stocks the 59-acre lake three or four times during the fall and winter months to offer a different type of fishing experience in central Iowa.

Summerset State Park is the only trout fishery in central Iowa. The trout are raised at the Elkader hatchery. Anglers who want to fish for the trout are required to purchase a trout stamp ($11) in addition to an Iowa fishing license. The daily bag limit for trout is five and the possession limit is 10.
