March is a prime month for trout fishing – particularly at Lake Henry in Clinton State Park.

On Thursday, Wildlife and Parks officials stocked 500 trout at Lake Henry. It was the last stocking until October. The Kansas trout season began Oct. 15 and runs through April 15.

Anyone fishing for trout must purchase a $12.15 trout permit, whether the angler is required to have a fishing license or not. Trout permits are valid for the calendar year.

All residents 16-64 years old and all non-residents 16 and older must also have a valid fishing license.

The daily creel limit is five trout. The possession limit is 15.

Trout permits are available online, at KDWP offices, some county clerk offices and license vendors.
