The Missouri Department of Conservation stocks four Kansas City Area Lakes with trout during the winter months. The stocking program is designed to give anglers the opportunity to have quality fishing year-round.
Trout are cold water fish and are easy for even the novice angler to catch.
Return to Top Stocking Schedule Rainbow trout are stocked three times during the winter at Alex George, Bowlin Rd. The weather can play havoc with the stocking schedule. Poor road conditions or frozen lakes can cause delays in stockings. Statewide regulations apply to the Urban Trout Fishing Program. Missouri residents over 15 and under 65 years of age, and non-residents over 15, need a Missouri Fishing Permit.
