Forts Randolph and Buhlow State Park in Pineville is scheduled to receive rainbow trout on Jan. 27 as part of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries’ annual winter trout stocking program.

The trout stocking is part of LDWF’s Get Out & Fish initiative, which brings rainbow trout to designated public fishing locations across the state for a limited time each winter. The program is weather dependent, and officials have indicated updates will be provided as stockings are completed.

The Pineville park is among several Central and North Louisiana locations included in the late January stocking schedule.

Anglers are reminded to follow all state fishing regulations and licensing requirements when fishing at state parks and public waters.
