Where can I fish in the parks?

Fishing is allowed at most park lagoons, and  lagoons are stocked with fish from the Hunger Task Force Farm Fish Hatchery and the Department of Natural Resources. Rainbow trout and 6- to 11-inch yellow perch are among the fish stocked. Bag limits are posted at the lagoons.
