The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) stocked roughly 900 rainbow trout at the Martin City Park on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020.
Stocked trout are 10 inches in length on average, however larger trout and a small number of albino trout have been stocked for anglers to catch.
TWRA stocks the Martin City Park with rainbow trout twice a year as part of the winter trout stocking program, once in December and January.Ā Ā
Stocked rainbow trout provides anglers better opportunities to catch fish in the winter months.
Anglers are reminded that the correct licences are required to fish for rainbow trout. A Sportsmanās License (Type 04) or an Annual Hunting and Fishing License (Type 01) accompanied with an Annual Trout (Type 22) are needed to fish for trout.
The daily creel limit of trout is seven, and there is no length limit in effect.Ā
