Ready for Rainbows?

TPWD Stocks Rainbow Trout Fingerlings 




Would you rather have Jack Frost nipping at your nose or rainbow trout nipping at your line? If you chose trout, get ready – we begin stocking rainbows at parks in December. See the stocking schedule for specific dates.

Fishing is always free at state parks, and you can borrow fishing gear at many parks through our tackle loaner program. Just bring bait and a smile! 

Trout stocking is one of our most popular programs because they're delicious and fun to catch. Fishing is enjoyed by all ages and a great way to get outside and make memories with family and friends. Try it – catching rainbows might become a new holiday tradition.
