Rainbow trout stocking schedule updated

Some updates have been made to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s annual fall rainbow trout stocking schedule as anglers across the state are reaping the rewards of the effort to enhance fishing opportunities.

The stockings at Fort Robinson State Park’s three Grable Ponds, originally planned for the week of Oct. 6, have been rescheduled for the week of Oct. 20.

The stocking at Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area’s Lake No. 18, initially set for the week of Oct. 13, now will take place the week of Oct. 20. Additionally, a previously unscheduled stocking took place at Fremont’s Lake No. 2 on Oct. 17, when 2,000 rainbows were released.

Anglers can visit OutdoorNebraska.gov/trout-stocking for the most up-to-date trout stocking information. The webpage provides detailed stocking schedules and reports, as well as additional resources for anglers planning their next trip.

Game and Parks also invites anglers to share their thoughts through the Trout Stocking Program Survey, available at the same link. Feedback from Nebraska’s fishing community plays an important role in shaping the future of the state’s trout stocking program.
