Trout Stocking Now Underway

Trout stocking in Oklahoma had a late start this year. Stocking is tentative based on flooding, water temperatures, trout availability, road conditions and other unforeseen circumstances. Due to recent drought conditions and warm weather, stocking has been delayed until now. Be sure to buy your fishing license and check the regulations to stay in the know.

You can find Department trout fishing areas at Robbers Cave, Sunset Lake, Medicine Creek, Lake Watonga, Turtle Pond and Blue River. Three Close to Home Fishing areas began getting stocked on Dec. 1: Route 66 Park, Edwards Park and Veterans Park.

For more tips and tricks, check the Trout Information page on the ODWC website.
