Trout Stocking in Cedar Rapids' Prairie Park Fishery
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — About 1,500 cold water trout are going to be released and stocked into Cedar Rapids' Prairie Park Fishery.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that the stocking is planned for this weekend and is part of the agency's efforts to expand its urban fisheries program. Fisheries biologist Paul Sleeper says high water over the summer forced the cancellation of some scheduled stockings in northeastern Iowa streams.
Sleeper says these fish are left overs from that program. The trout will be about a half pound between 12 and 14 inches long. The department says about a dozen other Iowa communities receive trout during the cold weather months.
Iowa fishing officials remind anglers looking for trout that they must have a trout fee on their fishing licenses.
The daily trout limit is five.
