I didn't know they had trout in Texas. I thought it was perch, bass and such.

When I was in grad school in Texas I had a fellow student who was from Idaho. He and I used to fish together when we were undergrads at BYU. We found out that they stocked trout at a local spring with cool water (Barton Springs?) in Austin so went down with our trout gear to try our luck. While we were there the truck from the hatchery pulled up and dumped a load of small planters in the spring. We did "combat fishing" with the other folks for a while and caught a few of the poor little things. At one point we looked at each other and realized just how pathetic it was that we were fishing in the middle of a large city for freshly-planted six-inch trout and we starting laughing. Oh, how far we had fallen. We still joke about it from time to time.

There are trout in the creek that runs through my neighborhood. In fact there are parts of the year when the water gets low enough that you can actually walk down and catch them by hand.

so what? we have more squirrels than you in our backyard, and squirrels are better eating.
