The ice is off and over 6,000 hungry rainbow trout were stocked today at Winchester Lake. Take a kid, friend or neighbor and wet a line! Biologists also tagged several trout with orange floy tags. Anglers are encouraged to provide the individual tag number by calling the toll-free number on the tag to report their catch! This data will be used to help estimate harvest.
