The cold weather has forced the DNR to move up the schedules for stocking trout in Bondurant and Ames.

Originally scheduled for November 15th, Lake Betocka in Bondurant will be stocked today (Thursday) at noon. Meantime the stocking of Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake in Ames will be at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow (Friday).

Anticipated cold temps might begin to ice over the lakes by next weekend, so the DNR decided to go ahead and get the trout into the lakes.
