2008-2009 Trout Stocking Schedule

  • Stocking dates are subject to change. For last-minute updates, contact the hatchery that is stocking your location. Phone numbers for hatcheries are listed at the bottom of this page.

    • Statewide Regulations: No Minimum Length Limit; Daily Bag = 5 trout

    • Effective September 1, 2008, an angler fishing in a Community Fishing Lake (CFL) may use no more than two poles. Many trout stocking sites are classified as CFLs.

    • Trout anglers will need the $5 Freshwater Fishing Stamp, which is included in all freshwater license packages. Anglers under 17 years of age are not required to have a license and don’t need to purchase a stamp. More about fishing licenses and stamps.

    • Licenses and stamps are not required when fishing within a Texas State Park.

    • For directions to selected locations, follow the “Directions” links.

Recent Changes

* Stocking at Richards Park in Brady has been cancelled due to extremely low water levels.

* Trout fishing at the City of Live Oak will not be available to the general public until December 14. Trout will be stocked again at this park on January 14, 2009.
