ANKENY - Two Des Moines area lakes will host a free family trout fishing day on April 4. The events are scheduled for Summerset Stat Park, between Des Moines and Indianola, and for the DMACC Campus Lake, in Ankeny.
The event at Summerset State Park is sponsored by the Warren County Izaak Walton League, Warren County Conservation Board and the Iowa DNR. Registration begins at 11 a.m. and the Warren County Izaak Walton League will provide a free lunch from 11 a.m. until noon. Children may register to win door prizes.
The DNR will be stocking rainbow trout at noon. There will be a limited amount of fishing poles and tackle available for participants who do not have any equipment.
The event at DMACC Campus Lake in Ankeny is sponsored by Des Moines Area Community College, Des Moines Izaak Walton League, Central Iowa Anglers and the Iowa DNR. Registration begins at 11:30 and trout will be stocked around noon.
Sportsman's Warehouse is providing door prizes and parking will be available on campus lots.
Both events are free, but participants aged 16 and older must be properly licensed and have a current trout fee. Children fishing with a properly licensed adult are not required to pay the trout fee, but their catch is counted toward the five fish daily limit. Children may purchase a trout fee and have their own daily limit, but children fishing without an adult must pay the trout fee.
