On December 19, 2002, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) will stock three lakes in West Tennessee with rainbow trout for the winter months. Lakes to be stocked in West Tennessee and the number of rainbow trout to be released are: ***Cameron Brown Park Lake, located on Farmington Rd. in Germantown, TN. (1,600 fish) ***McKenzie City Park Lake, McKenzie, TN. (1,000 fish) ***Lake Graham, Jackson, TN. (1,400 fish). Trout will be placed in a cove which will be blocked off using nets.
While some Tennessee waters support trout year round, none of the urban
waters in West Tennessee will support them once spring arrives and water
temperatures increase. Trout are cold water species and require water
temperatures in the 50's. A trout license will be required along with any other appropriate license (except for lifetime and sportsman license holders) for anglers 16 and older. There is no size limit on the trout, but the daily creel limit is 7.
Rod and Reel anglers should use light equipment with 4 to 6 pound line.
Hooks should be small, #10, 12 or 14 depending on the bait chosen.
Popular trout baits are corn, salmon eggs (chartreuse and orange are
good colors), night crawlers or red worms. Good choices for artificial
bait include small spinner baits (1/16 ounce) or smaller in various
colors. |
