Trout season opens this weekend at TFFC Athens

ATHENS — Rainbow trout fishing returns to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens on Saturday. Recent cold fronts have done their job, and several thousand rainbow trout now swim in the fishing ponds and streams at the center. Whether fly-fishing or using conventional tackle, anglers will increase their success rate by using baits that look similar to the floating fish pellets the hatchery-raised trout are accustomed to eating. One brand is Berkley Hatchery Formula Chews, available online and at major outdoor retailers. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department purchases trout each year and stocks them into urban ponds around the state in order to increase fishing opportunities. A complete list of stocked ponds and the approximate dates fish will arrive can be found on the TPWD Web site at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fish/infish/reports/trout_stocking.phtml. No fishing license is needed to fish at TFFC, and rods, reels and bait are furnished free. Anglers are allowed to bring their own tackle and bait, but no treble hooks are allowed. For more information, call 903-676-2277.
