Winter Trout Stocking START DATE: IMMEDIATELY KILL DATE: February 28, 2018 Contact: Carl Kittel, 512-353-0313 WINTER TROUT STOCKING Winter is a great time to take the family fishing! Through the first week of March, Texas Parks & Wildlife will stock nearly two-hundred ninety-thousand trout in 150 community and state park fishing lakes. Proceeds from the freshwater fishing stamp – which adults must purchase in addition to a fishing license—fund the trout stockings. Meanwhile, kids under 17 may fish free. And it’s always free to fish at state parks. Texas Parks and Wildlife reminds you that Life’s Better Outside!
