SAN ANGELO, TX — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced Monday that it will stock eight community fishing lakes around West Texas this week.
It will be the TPWD’s final stocking of the year.
The lakes that will be stocked are:
- Ascarate in El Paso - Oct. 28
- Knierim in Bronte - Oct. 29
- Pena Colorado (Post Park) in Marathon - Oct. 29
- Comanche Trails in Big Spring - Oct. 30
- Monahans Perch Pond - Oct. 30
- Comanche Trails in Odessa - Oct. 30
- Ruddick Park in Colorado City - Oct. 30
- Oakes Street in San Angelo - Oct. 31
The stockings are part of the TPWD’s Neighborhood Fishin’ program. San Angelo is one of 18 cities around the state included in the program.
The program aims to make fishing more accessible by placing fish in urban waters across Texas. Each participating lake or river location will receive biweekly catfish deliveries, except for a brief pause in August.
Anglers can keep up to five fish of any kind (all species combined) per day, with one black bass 14 inches or greater in length. Adults are required to have a fishing license, which starts at $11 for a one-day pass or $30 for an annual freshwater license. Youths under 17 do not need a license. All proceeds go toward the management of the fisheries, providing access, and conservation of Texas fish and their habitats.
