DNR Delaying Several Trout Stockings Due to Weather

The hot, dry weather is leading to the delay of several trout stockings in northeast Iowa.

The DNR says several catchable trout stockings on a few trout streams will be delayed until next week due to low flows and high temperatures.

The select streams include Bear Creek (in Fayette County), Buck Creek, South Cedar, Otter Creek and West Canoe (in Winneshiek County) and Brush Creek and Dalton Pond (in Jackson County). These streams are usually not stocked in July and August and resume in September due to stream water temperature concerns. 

All other trout streams will be stocked as scheduled. 

Catchable trout stocking continues through the end of October. You can find a list of stocked trout streams on the DNR trout fishing webpage.
