The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will stock rainbow trout in Fort Wayne and Huntington Oct. 18–19.

Shoaff Park and Spy Run Creek in Fort Wayne will each receive 200 fish, and Memorial Park in Huntington will receive 300 fish. The stocked fish will average 12 to 14 inches in length.

Shoaff Park is on Fort Wayne’s northeast side at 6401 St. Joe Road. The pond is at the west end of the park, along the St. Joseph River.

Spy Run Creek is in Franke Park, across the parking lot from the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo at 3411 Sherman Boulevard.

There will be no events associated with the Fort Wayne stockings, so fishing can begin after 3 p.m. on Oct. 18.

Memorial Park features two ponds and is west of downtown Huntington at 1200 West Park Drive. Only the north pond will be stocked.

The Memorial Park Pond stocking will include a family fishing event that begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19. No trout fishing will be allowed before the event starts. Participants are asked to bring their own equipment.

All anglers age 18 and older must have a valid Indiana fishing license and trout stamp to fish. The catch limit per angler is five trout.
