TPW TV -- GUADALUPE TROUT: Then as now, winter 
trout rule the Guadalupe River ... details on Passport 
to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

Throughout the year, Texas Parks and Wildlife has 
been observing its 50 year history as an agency. 
This week we go back in time with the TPW PBS TV 
series as producer Abe Moore reflects on Texans' 
love affair with winter trout stocking.

15 -- We went back and looked at some of the old movies that 
Parks and Wildlife produced. And one of the stories I came across 
was fishing for rainbow trout on the Guadalupe River, and the 
stocking that they actually did back there on the river. It was 
really interesting.

JOEL: Start the :01 of ambiance under Abe's last words. 
And begin Abe's next actuality over the trailing ambience 
of the actuality before it.

07 -- [ambiance] No one would have guessed several years ago 
that rainbow trout could ever be caught in Texas. Summer Waters 
were much too warm for trout. [ambiance]

22 -- And then what we did is we looked at that piece then, and 
comparing it to see if it's changed as far as stocking on the river 
over the past 40 to 50 years. We stock close to 30-thousand 
rainbow trout in the Guadalupe River. They used to be six to 
eight inches back then, today, they're eight to 10 inches, and 
the still come from Missouri. That historical piece will be on 
September eighth through the 14th on your local PBS station.
