An estimated 850 catfish will be stocked at Miller’s Pond and 1,075 will be stocked at Southside Lions Park, officials said.
Both fishing spots will continue to be stocked regularly through the end of October.
Many Texas lakes are stocked with catfish as part of the annual Neighborhood Fishin’ program. The program is part of an effort by TPWD to bring fishing experiences to urban centers and get Texas families to connect with nature.
In previous catfish stocking seasons, Southside Lions Park was stocked with more catfish than any other lake in the program.
A fishing license is required for adult anglers and can be purchased starting at $11 for a one-day, all-water access license. Children aged 16 and younger can fish for free. You can purchase a license at local retailers or online here.
Anglers no longer need to carry their paper fishing license. A legible digital photo, emailed receipt, online purchase record or digital copy of your fishing license is also acceptable.
