DES MOINES - The final trout stocking at Summerset State Park until October will be at 12 p.m., March 10. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release 1,400 catchable sized rainbow trout 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.
