Trout Stocking Persists In Guadalupe River System
Since April 1966 Tejas Parks and Wildlife has stocked brown and rainbow trout in the Guadalupe River below Canyon Dam. The first quarter of this year saw over 120,000 rainbows released, up to eight inches long. Water temperature remains around 54 to 60 degrees, supporting trout growth, with catches including twelve inch fish and a largest rainbow of about four pounds twelve ounces in the program’s early years.

Eastern wild turkey silvestris range and recovery efforts outline
The Eastern wild turkey silvestris occupies diverse habitats from southern pines to northern hardwoods across much of the eastern U S and parts of Texas. Populations fell from millions to 20 000 30 000 in the 1930s due to habitat loss and hunting, with restoration advancing via live trapping and relocation rather than pen raised stock. Habitat loss and development threaten future expansion, and outcome depends on public view of environmental quality and commitment to preservation.
