LINCOLN, NEB. - The annual fall stocking of rainbow trout into ponds and lakes across Nebraska has begun.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission fish hatcheries staff is releasing catchable (10-inch or greater) trout to enhance fishing opportunities this fall and winter. 

NGPC says the goal of trout stocking is to support urban and community waters across Nebraska and encourages experienced anglers to take advantage of the opportunity to introduce someone new to fishing. 

A full schedule of stocking dates can be found on the NGPC website.
