Fishing

Does TPWD stock private ponds or where do I get fish?

No. It is illegal for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to stock private ponds. There are several companies that are in the business of farm raising fish for stocking in ponds. Consult your phone directory or check with local feed stores. Our web page, Managing Your Private Lake, may be of assistance as well.
