Fall urban trout
stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. DNR fisheries staff will release between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout in seventeen locations across Iowa as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months.

Grab your neighbors, friends and kids and try trout fishing this fall. A small hook with a nightcrawler or corn under a small bobber to casting small simple spinners such as a panther martin or mepps is all you need to get in on the fun.
This popular program is supported by the sales of
the trout fee. You
need a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess
trout. Learn more about trout fishing in urban lakes on the DNR trout fishing webpage.
