Where to Go Trout Fishing Near Houston

Sharing is caring!

The purpose of this article is to help you find freshly stocked rainbow trout near the Greater Houston Area.

For your convenience, I’ve split the usual stocking locations into two tables to cover the metropolitan area.

The first schedule shows just the waters inside Harris County, which includes Houston, Katy, Spring, and other communities in the most populous county in Texas.

After that, you’ll find a second table that includes freshwater trout fishing spots located in surrounding counties within the area.

Each of the spots you’ll find in this article is stocked at least once with trout during the coolest months of the year.

At the end of this article, you’ll find links to our comprehensive guide to fishing for rainbow trout across Texas, which includes specific fishing techniques and tips to help you have your best day on the water.
