Colder weather means we'll start stocking tasty, ready-to-catch rainbow trout www.tpwd.texas.gov/troutstocking. from Thanksgiving weekend through early March. The stocking schedule is now online and will be updated throughout the season, with over 100 waterways receiving rainbows.
Dates and locations are subject to change. For last-minute updates, contact the hatchery that is stocking your location.
