Overview
- TPWD began delivering channel catfish to select city lakes this week under its seasonal Neighborhood Fishin’ rollout.
- The plan covers 18 small urban lakes statewide to give residents a place to fish close to home.
- Four sites in Greater Houston — Burke Crenshaw, Community Park Lake, Herman Little Park, Mary Jo Peckham Park — are now in the rotation.
- Austin’s Kingfisher Lake and Bullfrog Pond at Travis County East Metro Park will receive regular stockings through October with a brief August pause.
- Adults must hold a fishing license while anglers under 17 or Texans born before Jan. 1, 1931 are exempt, and TPWD posts catfish size and bag limits to guide what people can keep.
