Brown, Rainbow Trout Stocked In 17 Indiana Bodies Of Water
A total of 7,250 brown trout and 1,955 rainbow trout have been stocked in 17 bodies of water across Indiana.
“The demand from trout anglers for brown trout has been increasing over the past several years,” said Matt Horsley, fisheries biologist for northeast Indiana. “Stocking brown trout into our northern lakes and streams has the potential to extend trout fishing opportunities from just a month or so to several months, possibly even the entire year.”
The stocked brown trout averaged 8.25 inches in length.

- Fancher Lake, Lake County, 200 trout

Anglers 18 and older will need an Indiana fishing license and a trout/salmon stamp to fish for trout. The bag limit for trout is five. This includes any combination of brook, rainbow, or brown trout, but no more than one may be a brown trout. There is no minimum size limit for lakes except for the 18-inch minimum size limit for brown trout at Oliver, Olin, and Martin lakes in LaGrange County, and the Brookville Lake tailwater in Franklin County. Streams have a 7-inch minimum size limit.
There is no closed season for taking trout from inland lakes. Streams close to trout fishing from Dec. 31 to the last Saturday in April.
