TWO 1200 trout releases at the Guadalupe River....
The first of two planned rainbow trout releases took place today along the Guadalupe River in Louise Hays Park, with 1,200 trout being released into the water. The event offered up some great fishing opportunities for area citizens.
The rainbow trout are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s A.E. Wood Fish Hatchery in San Marcos. The trout stocking is timed with winter water temperatures dropping below a level necessary for the survival of the trout.
A second release will occur on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022 consisting of another 1,200 rainbow trout.
Everyone is invited to come to Louise Hays Park for a unique fishing experience. Individuals over 17 years of age are required by law to have a valid freshwater fishing license. As per statewide regulations, there is no minimum length limit and the daily bag limit is five trout.
