Today’s stocking will be the first of three trout releases planned for Heritage Pond, which is located on Dubuque’s north side on Iowa 3/U.S. 52. The pond will be stocked a second time in January and again in April following ice-out as part of the annual family fishing day. Anglers who are interested in fishing for trout need to possess a fishing license and a trout stamp. Anglers younger than 16 do not need a trout stamp as long as they are with a licensed adult and any fish kept are part of the licensed adult five-fish daily limit.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources, in conjunction with Western Historic Trails Center, plans to stock 1,500 trout Friday afternoon..

This fall and winter the center’s Sauganash Pond will be the only area stocked. The park renovation project and the lowering of the water level at West Big Lake in Big Lake Park will prevent any stocking there until next spring.

The keeper-size rainbow trout will provide some good fishing through the rest of the fall. Additional trout stockings are planned for January and March.

Iowa residents and nonresidents, regardless of age, must pay a trout fee to fish for or possess trout. Individuals 16 and older must also have a valid fishing license. Children younger than 16, fishing with a properly licensed adult (fishing license and trout fee), do not need a trout fee to fish for or possess trout, but together their daily limit is five trout.
