The last Rainbow Trout stocking of Gunn Park's Fern Lake was this afternoon. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) Fisheries Biologist, Don George said there were approximately 500 pounds, or 850 fish released today. The average fish in this release is 1.5-2 pounds. Last month's delivery included much larger breeding stock so there is a good mix of sizes. The program is a partnership between KDWP and the city of Fort Scott.
