Trout Stocking in 2009

I heard reports that NGPC would be stocking some lakes with trout in the Omaha area sometime near the end of March, 2009. Specifically I heard Halleck Park lake in Papillion. There were other lakes mentioned as well. (see the fishing guide for a complete list)

I searched for information on the NGPC website, but could only find information about stocking that had already happened, nothing about what was planned. You can search for lakes near you at the following address.

These trout stocked lakes would be great for getting your kids to as these fish are usually pretty quick to bite.

Be sure to get your license and check regulations regarding these trout stocked lakes as they differ from waters that support natural trout populations. Download the 2009 Nebraska Fishing Guide (http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/fishing/guides/fishguide/FishGuide.pdf) or pick one up at a locale sporting goods retailer. Page 4 (as well as 11, 17-18) has some information on bag limits and which lakes are stocked but don’t support natural populations year round (so called “put and take” lakes).

Remember, you are responsible to understand and follow all fishing regulations!
