Trout release at Scharnberg
Approximately 1,500 rainbow trout were released at Scharnberg Park on 02/07/2026 by Iowa DNR's Urban Lakes Trout Program. The trout are from the DNR Fisheries Office in Decorah, IA. The popular program is supported by the sales of the trout fee. This program is an effort to introduce trout fishing to more people across the state. Anglers need a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10. Children age 15 or younger can fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but together, they can only keep one daily limit. Children can pay the trout fee, allowing them to keep their own daily limit. For more information contact CCCB 712-262-2187.
