Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.
DNR fish survey, 1982
The Clinton Kid's Fishing Pond is located half mile east of Clinton on County Highway 6, adjacent to the water treatment ponds. It is regularly stocked with adult Walleye and Northern Pike.
