Lanesboro Trout were jumping on to hooks at Fishing Day at Sylvan Park in Lanesboro on Wednesday, June 14. Sponsored by the DNR Fisheries Division in Lanesboro, senior citizens and handicapped adults from Freeborn, Mower, Olmsted, Winona, Houston and Fillmore Counties came to the park to catch fish, eat lunch and enjoy a day outdoors. The DNR stocked 1,000 trout in the pond on the morning of the event ensuring a busy day of angling. Lunch was provided by Aid Association for Lutherans.
