CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has announced its 2016-17 winter trout stocking schedule.

TWRA plans to release approximately 90,000 rainbow trout into Tennessee waters from December through March.

Trout stocking for Billy Dunlop Park occurred on Dec. 7 and will be restocked Feb. 2.

The program provides numerous close to home trout fishing opportunities for anglers during the winter months. These fisheries also provide a great opportunity to introduce children or first-time anglers to fishing.

The trout will average about 10 inches in length. The daily creel limit is seven, but there is no size limit. Anglers are reminded that a trout license is needed in addition to the fishing license.

Please note that the dates and locations are subject to change. Updates can be found on TWRA’s website.
