    Exclamation They're Back!

    Inland Fisheries Wichita Falls District -- TPWD 5/12/20, 9:17AM

    17 years after the last stocking of Smallmouth Bass in Possum Kingdom, 43,000 Smallmouth Bass fingerlings now call PK home. Smallmouth Bass were last stocked in 2003, with stocking halted after that because of the threat of golden alga caused fish kills which had occurred in 2001 and again in 2003. History proved that the decision was correct as the reservoir has had many fish kills in the ensuing years up to 2013. Since then, there have only been a couple of very minor localized kills in the upper half of the reservoir. This year it was decided it was time to try to re-establish Smallmouth Bass into the reservoir.

    I wish they would stock Whitney again. It use to be the best smallmouth in Texas.

    Sure wish I could have gotten on the smallmouth at Whitney in the heyday. Would have been fun.

    That’s great.
    I sure wish they’d put some of them Magnum Spotted Bass in T Bend.
