Scharnberg Pond to receive fall trout stocking
Scharnberg Pond east of Everly will once again receive a trout stocking this fall.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at 18 locations across the state as part of its cool weather trout program, which brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months. Locally, Scharnberg Pond will receive its payload on Nov. 5 at noon.
The fall community trout stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. A small hook with a night crawler or corn under a small bobber or small simple spinners such as a Panther Martin or Mepps is all you need to get in on the fun.
The popular program is supported by the sales of the trout fee. Anglers need a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10.
Children age 15 or younger can fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their catch to one daily limit. The child can purchase a trout fee, which will allow them to catch their own limit.
