Anglers will have more reason to visit area lakes, after the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission stocked catchable-size rainbow trout in several city ponds and lakes.
On Tuesday, a trailer containing several hundred fish made stops in Pawnee City, Falls City, and Humboldt. At least 200 trout were stocked at Stanton Lake in Falls City, 300 in the Pawnee City Pond, and 600 in the Humboldt City Lake Park.
Last week, 1,400 fish were stocked at the Rotary Club Lake in Auburn and 900 at Steinhart Park ponds in Nebraska City.
Game and Parks officials say trout fishing is an excellent activity for children and families, requiring only a basic rod and reel, hook, worm, and bobber. Small spinners and prepared baits also work well.
Anyone fishing in Nebraska - except residents under the age of 16 - must have a fishing license. A park entry permit is also required for each vehicle entering state parks, recreation areas, and historical parks.
