CENTER HILL LAKE
TWRA’s Winter Trout Stocking Underway
NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has announced its 2015-16 winter
trout stocking schedule. TWRA plans to release approximately 90,000 rainbow trout into Tennessee waters from December through March. The program provides numerous close to home trout
fishing opportunities for anglers during the winter months. These fisheries also provide a great
opportunity to introduce children or first-time anglers to fishing. The trout will average about 10
inches in length. The daily creel limit is seven, but there is no size limit. Please note that the dates
and locations are subject to change. Updates can be found on TWRA’s website. - See more at:
