The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife will extend trout fishing opportunities at five northern Indiana streams with additional trout stockings.

The streams are Pigeon River in Steuben and LaGrange counties, Turkey Creek in LaGrange County, Little Elkhart River in Elkhart County, Little Kankakee River in LaPorte County and Potato Creek in St. Joseph County. 

Pigeon River, Turkey Creek and Little Elkhart River will be stocked for the weekend of May 9-10 and May 23-24, which is Memorial Day weekend. The Little Kankakee River and Potato Creek will only be stocked for Memorial Day weekend. 

Pigeon River will be stocked at County Road 175-N and at County Line Road. Turkey Creek will be stocked at County Road 150-N. These stream crossings are in Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area. 

Little Elkhart River will be stocked at Bonneyville Mill County Park. 

Little Kankakee River will be stocked at County Roads 100-S and 500-E, and at State Road 4.  

Potato Creek will be stocked at North Liberty Town Park and in Potato Creek State Park near the paved bicycle trail creek crossing. Parking to use the state park is available at the West lot. Anglers fishing at the park will have to hike or bike about 1 mile along the bicycle trail to get to the stocking area.

Although these stream sites are the only areas to receive additional trout in May, fish from the initial releases in late April are still available in most of northern Indiana’s trout streams.
