I have a real problem with TP&W stocking trout in North Texas ponds.
Trout
are glamour fish and therefore popular to talk about. Trout are also

cold-water fish and what's the point in stocking them where the water
will
likely get hot enough to kill them? Seems to me, the money would be
better
spent stocking fish that would have a good chance of lasting several
years
and pro-creating.

Doc: You sure hit the nail on the head with the above statement as far
as I am concerned. This has been one of my main problems with the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department for years and now with the license
changes they made last year, you cna't be licensed to fish in this
state without supporting this program. I damn near decided to not buy a
license this year for that very reason.

You selfish, self-centered *******! What are silly-assed, zero-lot-line
North Dallas McMansionites supposed to do with all the trendy FFing gear
they went out and bought? Seriously, though, if stocking at Gruene,
etc., was iffy, what in the hell were they thinking with THIS stocking?
It can only be for the yuppies, no? Or did John Wildly Gotaprice find a
Armani FFing dashiki with a matching UZI-made flyrod and start screaming
about "his people" not being able to have equal access to "trouts" or
something?

Don - get with one of these local guys and go fishing for bluegill,
sandies, or some other native or at least well-suited species and
boycott this horse**** program. You want farm-raised rainbow locally?
Kroger, right there next to the catfish nuggets and "Krab Leggs"...
