The 2023/2024 Rainbow Trout Stocking Season is here. The fish are being stocked all across the state and dates/locations are posted on the Texas Parks & Wildlife Web Site. Stockings will go on through early March 2024. Feel free to post any trout fishing reports on this thread if you desire. Myself and several friends of mine went out today to a stocking that took place in the San Antonio area. South Side Lions Park. We all got our limit but really had to work form them. Got several fish in the 12 inch range. Fish had some weight and were full of fight. Gold Super Duper Lures was the bait of choice. Catching some early "Holiday Season" Rainbow Trout with good friends. It just don't get any better.

Favorite time of year. And, like in past seasons, yours truly modified the schedule to sort by Stocking Date, calculated the count of trout stockings planned for a location, and estimated trout to be stocked for each stocking. Makes for ease of reference by allowing Readers to quickly see when the next trout stocking is planned. As changes are unexpected for various reasons like weather, do check for updates, changes, and corrections at TPWD’s website – 2023-2024 TPWD Trout Stocking Schedule. Sorted by Date Schedule.

My local pond is due for a stocking on Wednesday. Guess I better be there at noon if I want a chance to catch anything ... between the Kenai-style masses of fishermen over the following days and the depredations of the cormorants, I won't stand a chance otherwise lol
Now where did I stash my ultralight rod and super dupers?

Caught these at a Stockdale stocking. Only three people counting myself were fishing. Limited but the bite was slow for the six hours I fished. Caught 9 and kept 5 for the dinner table. Seven caught on a Gold Super Duper Lure and two caught on Berkley Power Bait-Yellow in color.

Got these a day after the stocking. Caught 16 kept five. Gold Super Duper Lure and the Berkley Power Bait-Yellow got good results. Slow to medium retrieve working the lure worked best. Stockdale Park Pond.

Yesterday on the San Gabriel River. Sometimes the stocking dates on the schedule are off by a day or so. Read between the lines guys! Anyway, very few folks fishing and a couple of cormorants. I caught and released 23 in about an hour and a half of fishing time. Cormorants were still catching when I left. They weren’t releasing too many! Usual tactics worked very well. Ultra lite spinning, 4lb test line, gold SDLs. Good fishing to all!

Got these on the Blanco River. Started fishing at daylight 3 days after the stocking day. Caught about 15 including three Channel Cats. Kept five trout and two of the three catfish. One catfish was undersize. Three friends showed up when I was finished and they easily limited out. Great fishing. Get out and enjoy the outdoors. It just don't get any better.

Got the catfish on the power bait-Yellow, Salmon Egg color. Picked up the trout on the power bait and Gold Super Duper. Side Note: The catfish were the first three fish I caught. Got the bigger one first and thought I had a record trout on line!

I want to catch a salt water fish on a SDL. I have several of the largest that they make. I’ll bet under the right conditions, a spec or a red would go for one!

Took a 2 hour road trip to a pond in San Saba. Caught several trout and a 6.50 Lb Common Carp. The carp was released and I gave my fish to an angler who I met and netted my carp. The trout were caught on a Gold Super Duper Lure and the Berkley Power Bait-Yellow in color. The carp was caught on dough bait. A great time fishing a nice city park pond and meeting a super nice angler. It just don't get any better.

Went out to Bailey Lake park with my son and we didn't catch any trout. Talked to some others there and they weren't catching either.
