Just in time for the holiday season, rainbow trout arrives at waterbodies across the state for the annual Texas winter tradition of trout fishing. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) began stocking thousands of rainbow trout Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving.
Local waterways which will get thousands of trout include the Llano River near Castell and the Blanco River in Blanco.
It doesn’t take a lot of sophisticated fishing equipment to reel in a rainbow trout. They can be caught using simple, light tackle or hand-tied flies on a fly rod. However, anglers should keep an array of baits and lures nearby as well as ice to keep trout fresh.
