August trout stocking schedule for the Southeast Region

Here is a quick summary of what you need to know about some of these fun fisheries!

• Cub River - 500 rainbow trout. This beautiful little river is located south of Preston. All fish will be stocked in and around the Willow Flat Campground which is managed by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. There are 52 single units, 3 double units with 3 group sites, and an amphitheater. It is open from May through September.
  
• Montpelier Creek - 1,000 rainbow trout. Only a couple of miles from Montpelier, anglers can enjoy good creek fishing and a variety of camping options at the Montpelier Creel KOA (campsites and cabins).
  
• Montpelier Rearing Pond - 500 rainbow trout. This little fishing spot is tucked into a scenic high desert canyon at an elevation of 6500 feet in the hills east of Montpelier. It has very basic facilities but offers a variety of fish species in a peaceful setting. Anglers can fish the pond or head half-mile north up Crow Creek Road to Montpelier Reservoir.
  
• Upper Kelly Park Pond - 500 rainbow trout. This great little fishery is located in Arthur Kelly Park in Soda Springs. Access to the upper pond is via an easy quarter-mile hiking trail beginning at the parking lot. This fishery provides fun fishing for anglers of all ages in a pretty setting all summer long.

Stocking of all waters is tentative and dependent on river/lake/pond conditions (angler safety concerns); dates may change due to weather or staffing constraints.
