Oklahoma’s trout stocking season that normally begins Nov. 1 each year is being delayed this year, said Richard Snow, assistant chief of Fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

Trout stocking is now tentatively set to begin Dec. 1, 2024, at ODWC’s six seasonal trout fishing areas.

From the article

"The costs of maintaining a put-and-take stocking program for this non-native species have risen greatly over the past decade. This year, ODWC will spend about $7 for each pound of trout it stocks during the season, and each trout stocked usually weighs a little more than a pound."
