Minnesota DNR Stocking Trout in Hiniker Pond Thursday

Published On: January 15th, 20250.6 min readCategories: News

The Minnesota DNR will be stocking rainbow trout in Hiniker Pond for the second straight year on Thursday, January 16th ahead of the rainbow trout season opener on Saturday, January 18th. This “behind the scenes” look at rainbow trout stocking brought crowds of visitors from across the state and local anglers in it’s inaugural debut last year.

The Minnesota DNR has partnered with Visit Mankato to stock the rainbow trout in Hiniker Pond for ease of access to the lake for youth and adults.

In Southern Minnesota lakes are not typically deep enough to naturally offer trout. Anglers must have a valid fishing license and must have a trout stamp validation to keep any trout. Total possession limit is 5 rainbow trout.
