By the way, somebody is bound to ask why I am "naming names" on the trout spring creeks.
TWRA currently doesn't feel like these creeks are a very widely utilized resource. Based on attention, they value the tailwaters highest (obviously), and the urban stocking program second highest.
The spring stocking program barely gets any attention at all. If more people fished these creeks, talked about these creeks, and called TWRA asking about these creeks, it would help. TWRA would value them more highly as a fishery and more emphasis would be placed on their management.
Right now, it's just a deal of "we dump some trout there in the spring because we've always done it." But those streams could be soooo much more!!!
