Trout is being stocked in area fishing ponds and lakes beginning this month. The TWRA Winter Trout program is a great chance to try trout fishing. This program allows people in areas of the state that normally wouldn’t have trout, the opportunity to catch some and take them home.
In our area, trout will be stocked at Eiffel Tower Park II in Paris, Union City and Martin City Park on December 9.
Trout will be stocked at McKenzie city park January 13, with more trout stocked in Paris, Union City and Martin on January 13.
TWRA plans to release approximately 75,000 rainbow trout into Tennessee waters through March.
The program provides numerous close to home trout fishing opportunities for anglers during the winter months. These fisheries also provide a great opportunity to introduce children or first-time anglers to fishing. There are 43 locations for this year’s winter trout stocking program.
The trout will average about 10 inches in length. The daily creel limit is seven, but there is no size limit. Anglers are reminded that a trout license is needed in addition to the fishing license.
