The Indiana DNR will stock more than 55,000 trout throughout the state in time for stream trout season, which starts April 25.

Trout can be harvested in Indiana streams between 6 a.m. on the last Saturday in April and Dec. 31. Trout can be harvested year-round on Indiana lakes.

The state's 2015 trout stocking plan and list of stocking locations can be found here.

Traditionally, the state has stocked only rainbow trout in all locations except the Brookville Lake tailwater on the Whitewater River, where brown trout are stocked in addition to rainbow trout. This year, the state also will stock both brown and rainbow trout in LaGrange County, in the Pigeon River and the Oliver Lake chain.

Other changes for 2015 include more fish at Morsches Park in Whitley County and changes to stocking locations along the Little Kankakee River in LaPorte County.

The daily bag limit on most lakes and streams is five, and only one can be a brown trout. In general, the minimum size limit is 7 inches.

The size limit to keep a brown trout in the Brookville Lake tailwater and on Oliver, Olin and Martin lakes in LaGrange County is 18 inches.

Certain sections of Little Elkhart River, Cobus Creek and Solomon Creek in Elkhart County are catch-and-release-only trout streams, and anglers there must use artificial lures.
