DNR Trout Stocking at Terra Park Winter 2024

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources released 350 rainbow trout at Terra Lake in Johnston on January 16, 2025. Learn how they stock trout in the winter through the ice by watching this video! “We decided to stock trout earlier so anglers could take advantage of favorable ice conditions," said Ben Dodd, Iowa DNR fisheries biologist. Anglers 16 years and older must have 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 together, they can only keep one daily limit. Children can pay the trout fee, allowing them to keep their daily limit.
