Thread: Rainbow trout!

Will they live in still water like a lake??? that will be cool tho!

I thought it had to be cold water?? Got walleye in there too...we will end up having to import Yankees to teach us how to catch this stuff...😆 trout...rainbow trout...probably just trying to find something to go along with the Asian Carp...

They put them in the small fishing lake to catch over the winter.
JACKSON -The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) stocked approximately 600 rainbow trout into the bank-fishing pond at Lake Lamar Bruce near Saltillo. According to MDWFP Fisheries Biologist Tyler Stubbs, "This stocking will provide anglers with a unique fishing opportunity during the winter months. In addition, the trout create a great opportunity to introduce youth or new anglers to fishing because they will be easy to catch."



Anglers can harvest up to three trout per person per day with no size restrictions. Anglers must have a valid fishing license and a state lake daily or annual fishing permit to fish in the pond.

Ok..that is not in the main lake. Makes sense, I guess

They like spam

Got a couple of lakes in Germantown and Collierville they stock them in. Getting people out to utilize the parks. They will live in the still water as long as it is cold enough. Soon as it warms up they die off. From what I understand they get a lot of folks with their kids out to fish for them. Pretty easy to catch Hatchery raised trout. Great way to get kids involved.

They stock trout in the little park lake in West Memphis in the winter. What isn't caught won't survive the warmer months and become turtle bait.

They aren't worth much for eating, but it's fun to catch something different/pretty, especially for a youngster. Good job MDWFP.
