Filer Pond and Filer Kids Pond are the only stocking locations in November
As temperatures begin to drop, hatchery rainbow trout stocking across the Magic Valley Region starts to slow down. However, if you’re in the Filer area, both the Filer Pond and Filer Kids Pond remain great local fishing spots throughout the colder months.
Hatchery personnel from Fish and Game’s Magic Valley Region will be stocking approximately 900 10-12” catchable-sized rainbow trout in November, all in the Filer Kids Pond and Filer Pond. All stocking dates and numbers of fish are approximate.
| Body of Water | Week to be Stocked | Number to be Stocked |
| Filer Kids Pond & Filer Pond | Nov 10-14 | 450 |
| Filer Kids Pond & Filer Pond | Nov 24-28 | 450 |
