Best Chance To Catch a Big Trout in the DFW Metroplex.... Go To TRWD Flyfest! [3-12-2022]

Trinity River Trout Stockings

Each year the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Trinity River Regional Water District (TRWD) stock the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas with Rainbow Trout from December to March.

The trout typically range between 9"-11" in length with a some going 12" or longer at times. However, if you are after larger trout, there is an annual event in March that provides the best chance to catch trout measuring 20" or more!

It's TRWD Flyfest!

TRWD Flyfest

TRWD Flyfest is scheduled for March 12, 2022 and marks the end of the 2021-2022 Trout Stocking Season.

A sponsored event with a laidback feel that promotes fly fishing with a mix of food, beer, wine, and live music.

It's a family friendly environment that offers free fly fishing lessons, expert fly fishing presentations, and other fishing related activities to interest both novice as well as expert fly fisherman.

Moreover, for those who prefer fishing over talking about fishing, TRWD Flyfest hosts a fishing contest - the Orvis Big Trout Contest.

For more details, click the picture in the inset of this section. Don't be surprised to see 20" and larger size trout being caught and released during the contest!


Past Events

Yours truly has attended TRWD Flyfest since the first event held on the banks of the Trinity River by the Acme Brick Company Headquarters in March 2016. 

I learned about the event by accident. I was headed to the Brazos River west of Fort Worth to fish for Rainbow Trout and Striped Bass at the tailrace to Possum Kingdom Reservoir.

While on the way, I heard an announcement on the radio mentioning TRWD Flyfest. As I was still in Fort Worth, I diverted my trip to the Acme Brick Company Headquarters.

The event has been held annually with the exception of 2020; however, the trout stocking proceeded as scheduled that year just no TRWD Flyfest.

Below are a series of videos we posted previously on our YouTube Channel - COAF Field Team. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe videos are worth more.

Do check them out!

Trinity River Fly Fishing with the MaxCatch 2wt Fly Rod? #switchrod #flyfishing #trinityriver

Was in Fort Worth Sunday, fly fishing under a bridge on the the Trinity River. It was just down the street from the Fort Worth Zoo. Used the 2wt Discount Switch Rod aka the MaxCatch Fly Rod with Orvis SL1 Fly Reel and Rio Trout Max Skagit Head.

Great combo when fishing under the bridge; was able to get the fishing fly where needed with minimal false casting. Mainly caught Bluegill and Sunfish as well as some Longear, but did get a couple a Bass, too – a small fingerling and another that went about 12 inches.

All went for a White Damsel Fly fished wit varying retrieves. Do check it out!
