The Iowa Department of Natural Resources released between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at five community trout ponds as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer. The Scharnberg Pond located southeast of Everly was included on the list.

All winter/spring community trout stockings will be unannounced this year. Family fishing events will not be held to help reduce the crowd size at stocking locations and minimize the spread of COVID-19.
