IDNR Report
The Indiana DNR has stocked rainbow trout in Fort Wayne and Huntington waters.
Shoaff Park and Spy Run Creek, both in Fort Wayne, received 300 fish each. Memorial Park in Huntington received 200 fish. The stocked trout averaged 8 to 10 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 stocking is in Franke Park across the parking lot from the Fort Wayne Zoo at 3411 Sherman Boulevard.
Memorial Park features two ponds and is west of downtown Huntington at 1200 West Park Drive. Only the north pond will be stocked.
There will not be any events associated with these stockings, so fishing can begin after 1 p.m. on Oct. 17.
All anglers age 18 and older must have a valid Indiana fishing license and trout stamp to fish. The harvest limit per angler is five trout.
The purpose of the stocking program is to offer an exciting and safe way for families and anglers to experience the fun of fishing.
