TWRA provides fingerling largemouth bass
and bluegill for stocking new or renovated
ponds that meet minimum qualifications.
To defray the cost of the program, a fee
is charged, based on pond acreage.
If you prefer, we can help you locate a
commercial source for fish. Regardless of
where you get your fish, the decision on
who can or can’t fish on your property is
always up to the pond owner.
More information and applications are
available from your local TWRA office and
on the Agency’s web site.

due to the decay of organisms and lack of
photosynthesis. In certain reservoirs, the
cold water loses enough oxygen during the
summer that it can no longer support certain
cool water species like striped bass.
When do our reservoirs “turn over”?
Northern reservoirs experience a spring and
fall “turn over”, but our lakes destratify only
in the fall. It occurs when the surface water
cools sufficiently to mix with the cold water
below. Prior to the cooling period, the warm
surface water can not mix with the denser
water below because of thermal stratification
(see the previous question).
What are those jelly-like masses that are
attached to tree limbs, bushes and other
objects in the water? They are colonies
of harmless microscopic animals called
Bryozoans. They have miniature tentacles to
capture prey and are permanently attached to
the colony mass. Large colonies can exceed
two feet in diameter, but most are less than
one foot.
How many rods or poles may an angler fish
with? There is no limit to the number of rods
that can be fished in MOST of our reservoirs,
but there are exceptions. Only three rods may
be used when fishing for walleye in Center
Hill and Dale Hollow. Also, there are certain
trout waters where an angler is limited to one
hand-held rod (Gatlinburg). It is always best to
consult the fishing regulations for the specific
water fished prior to any trip.
