The City of Early and Inland Fisheries Abilene District—Texas Parks and Wildlife partnership will bring three rainbow trout stockings to Early Town Center Lake. The stockings are scheduled for December 2, January 14, and February 25.

This year, the City of Early is thrilled to present the *Catch and Win* event, where participants can *Reel in the Rewards*! Each stocking will include 60 specially tagged fish, each providing the chance to win prizes ranging from $10 to $50. To claim their prize, anglers text 325-430-1395 with a picture of their tagged catch.

Additionally, every angler who reels in a tagged fish will gain entry into the grand prize drawing, which features an incredible fishing trip to the coast sponsored by the Early Municipal Development District. For even greater chances to win, anglers can receive a second entry into the grand prize drawing by sharing a photo with their tagged fish and tagging both the sponsoring business and the City of Early.

We sincerely thank our Trout Stocking Sponsors: Antlers and Pearls Boutique, Brownwood Market, and Jerry’s Burger & Shakes. Thanks to our Tagging Sponsors, Humphrey Pete’s, Smile Doctors, and 96.9 The Breeze, for their support.
