Every two weeks hundreds of fish are placed in Neighborhood Fishin’ lakes around North Texas.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) stocks 18 locations across Texas with fish as part of an effort to give individuals and families the opportunity to fish in suburban and urban areas.
"If you’ve never fished before, these are the perfect places to get started. If you are an experienced angler, these are the perfect places to introduce fishing to a friend or family member," said Marcos DeJesus, TPWD Inland Fisheries Division Region Three Director.
There are five lakes and ponds in Dallas-Fort Worth that are stocked with catfish in the summer and rainbow trout in the winter. These locations will be stocked with catfish through the end of October -- with a pause during the heat of August.
