Sand Lake Trout Release

Event Summary

On April 22, the Marshall County Conservation Board along with the Iowa DNR will be hosting a Trout Release at Sand Lake Recreation Area at 2901 Main St Rd, Marshalltown, IA 50158. 1800 rainbow trout and 200 brook trout.  The brook trout can be turned in for prizes. 

This event is a great way to introduce new anglers to the joys of fishing. This event is FREE, but anglers must be properly licensed, and bring their own fishing equipment. Children under 16 may fish for and possess trout if they fish with an adult who has a valid fishing license and trout stamp.  However, their combined daily limit is five trout.  Children under 16 may purchase their own stamp which allows them to keep their own five trout limit.   They do not need a fishing license.

RULES:  The Marshall County Conservation Board is excited to support this event in coordination with the Iowa DNR and our prize sponsors. This is a FUN event with limited prizes available.

 · Registration is not required, but all anglers must possess a valid resident or non-resident fishing license, have paid the trout fee, and abide by daily bag and possession limits.  All fish must be legally caught by rod and reel.

 · A parent or legal guardian must accompany all children during the event.

 · Fish will be released at 11:00 am and officially end at 2:00 pm on April 8, 2017 or on the signal(s) of the Event Director.

 · Prizes will be awarded by the Event Staff until all the prizes are handed out or the contest ends, whichever comes first.

 · Only one fishing line per derby participant will be allowed and only one hook or lure is permitted.  · No single angler can be awarded more than three prizes for brook fish.
