PRESTON, Iowa – Trout stockings scheduled for the week of June 3 and on June 13 at Dalton Pond will be postponed to make repairs to a water control structure. Stocking will resume at Dalton Pond on Sept. 6 as planned on the Iowa DNR Trout Stocking Calendar.
Water levels are currently lower than typical for Dalton Pond this time of year to prepare for the repair of the water control structure. Dalton Pond is stocked with about 3,300 catchable-sized trout each year. Postponement of the June stockings will not affect the number of trout stocked this year.
