Tiger Trout are hybrids, formed by crossing Brook trout and Brown trout. These fish are aggressive and fun to catch. They do well in 50-75 degree water. These fish are very hardy! They are very similar to the browns but easier to catch!
Brown Trout are a favorite of many experienced anglers. They can be hard to catch and they are aggressive towards other fish. Brown trout grow big and have been know to survive in water up to 75 degrees. Their growth is stunted in water under 55 degrees.
Brook Trout are another favorite of fisherman because they are always ready to take a fly. These fish generally do not grow past 20 inches, unless conditions are ideal. Brook trout can be aggressive, but because of their size, this usually is not a problem for your smaller fish. These fish are great for small mountain ponds where the water is clean and cold (below 65 degrees is best).

These trout are native to the pacific coast but have been stalked in almost every habitat across the continent. These trout are the easiest and fastest to grow. They will do well in any type of habitat that includes small or large moving bodies of cool, fresh water, and non-moving bodies of water such as cool water ponds that contain enough oxygen. Although if you do put them in streams they will travel up or down stream the farthest to find the habitat most desirable. They can also live in the widest types of temperature extremes. They can live in more alkaline (basic: limestone) water pH. These fish are surface feeders, and have a longer life expectancy. They can grow up to 25-28 inches and can weigh 8-12 lbs easily.
A very unique fact about the rainbow trout is that they are one of the few organisms that can live in both freshwater and saltwater. The area of where a freshwater river meets the ocean contains brackish water. This is water that is created by mixing freshwater and saltwater. The only side affect the fish seems to show is a change in its coloring. This trout must however, travel back to freshwater to spawn.
These fish are the iconic trout that everyone knows when they see it. This fish has a very prominent rose colored lateral line along the side of its body. They can have two general variations to their background color. Generally in streams they tend to be green on top and have a lighter underbelly. However, if they are found in saltwater they can have a silver hue to them. These rainbows are then referred to as steelheads.
This fish is a subspecies of the standard rainbow trout. It is the same type of fish but it has a skin color variation. These fish act and require pretty much all of the same requirements as the standard rainbow or steelhead. These fish on the other hand are very good at hiding, which they have to be because they are very easy to pick out of the water. Golden's have the same rose colored lateral line as the rainbow, but the rest of their body is a very yellow or golden colored. These fish also tend to feed at night because it is safer for them to come out of hiding. These fish would be an excellent choice for kids to fish for because they are easy to see.
These fish are of European descent. They can handle a wide rang of temperatures, and they like more basic to neutral water pH. Browns like to stay in deeper pools of water, but they do well in any trout friendly waters. They can be considered and all purpose fish for ponds or streams of any size. These trout are more territorial then rainbow trout, but they will travel to an extent. They are nocturnal feeders who like to wait for their food to sink down before they try to eat it. They are relatively disease resistant. Unfortunately they are one of the slowest growing of the trout species that we carry. They can grow up to 30 in and weigh 8-12 lbs.
This trout is native to Pennsylvania. It is more tolerent of acidic water such as mountain streams or bodies of water that have a lot of pine trees growing near them. These fish travel the least out of all the fish we have. Brooks tend to stay in the area where they were released into the water. This makes them great candidates for derbies. They will do just fine in basic water too. These fish are most affected by temperature. The prefer the colder temperatures. They are the smaller of the trout species that we carry, only growing up to 20 in.
This trout species is the result of cross fertilization of a female brown trout and a male brook trout. The tiger is unable to reproduce by its self, they can only be created. They can handle a wider variation for temperatures. Tiger trout are rarely found in the wild. These guys are more aggressive feeders, and will fight even harder on the line then any other of the trout we carry. These guys are best suited for ponds, because they have a strange instinct where they will turn down stream and swim for miles. This makes them a bad candidate for fish derbies.

The size of the mesh depends on the size and species of fish they intend to stock. Ponds stocked with fish that will reproduce in the pond, such as bass or bluegill, require a smaller mesh than ponds that will be stocked only with large trout.
Even the best screens may fail. For this reason IDFG only allows stocking of desirable species that are currently found in adjacent waters. This ensures that new species aren't introduced into publicly owned waters, threatening native fish populations and public fishing opportunity. Additionally, to prevent cross-breeding between escaped rainbow trout and native cutthroat trout, only sterilized (triploid) rainbow trout or native cutthroat trout are allowed in many areas. If you live in one of the shaded areas of the map, you may be prohibited from stocking fertile rainbow trout. To prevent the introduction and spread of disease, such as whirling disease, only fish from an approved, disease-free hatchery may be stocked.
Under certain circumstances, pond owners may collect fish for their own ponds if they obtain a Live Fish Transport Permit. These permits, which cost $23.50 for residents, will only be approved for transfer of fish that meet the requirements of the Private Pond Permit. Anyone collecting fish from public waters must have a valid fishing license and abide by the regulations established for those waters. At no time can live fish be transported without a permit. Contact the local Fishery Manager in your region for an application.
Dates and locations are subject to change. Most trout stocking occurs between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Exact times are unavailable. Total quantity is distributed over the scheduled stock dates. Hatchery is the TPWD facility delivering the trout. Hatchery contact information is listed below this chart.
