With fall and winter’s cooler temperatures, it’s the perfect time for rainbow trout fishing in Broken Arrow. For the second straight year, Anderson Pond at Events Park, 21101 E. 101st St., will be stocked and ready for anglers to fish beginning Dec. 1.
A trout fishing pilot program initiated in the fall of 2022 was a big success, says City of Broken Arrow Recreation Supt. Jody Baker.
Last year, from December to February, more than 1,125 pounds of trout were stocked. The pond attracted an average of 25 anglers daily, with numbers soaring to 100 people on peak days.
The city is expanding its trout-stocking program to 1,500 pounds of fish this season. Beginning Dec. 1, the pond will be re-stocked every 2 weeks through February, ensuring a vibrant and thriving environment for anglers.
“Our collaboration with Trout Unlimited for three clinics and hosting two fishing derbies were highlights of the program,” Baker said. “To support and further grow this initiative, Broken Arrow Parks and Recreation is actively seeking new partners and sponsors to join us in nurturing this community-focused outdoor experience.”
BAPR and Trout Unlimited have two fishing clinics planned this year, on Dec. 16 and Jan. 13, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Two fishing derbies will also be held in February: a kid’s derby on Saturday, Feb. 10, and a Fish ’em Out Derby on Saturday, Feb.24.
