KINGMAN, Ariz. -- The last time rainbow trout were stocked at Watson Lake in Prescott, John F. Kennedy was still president and landing on the moon was still seven years in the future.

That is going to change the week of Jan. 9 as the Arizona Game and Fish Department has received clearances from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to stock rainbow trout into the lake owned by the City of Prescott. The clearances received in November paved the way for stocking trout for the first time since 1962.
