Rainbow trout stocking in La.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries stocked seven water bodies around the state Jan. 21 with 2,300 pounds of adult-size rainbow trout. This effort is part of the department’s Get Out and Fish! program, which makes it easy for families to be introduced to a successful fishing trip. These fish are easy to catch and the ponds are near neighborhoods, so we hope this will be a great opportunity for families to get hooked on fishing. Ponds were stocked today at each of the following locations: Jennings, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Hammond and New Orleans parks. (Source: La.
