Graham said. “We’ve heard from many excited anglers who have caught one of these ‘bonus’ fish and have heard anecdotal reports of anglers making a special trip to target a few of these fish.”

Rainbow trout stocked at Bull Shoals State ParkThis particular color-variant of rainbow trout was developed at the Missouri commercial fish hatchery. The fish has the distinct pinkish stripe down the middle of its body like a regular rainbow trout, while the rest of the color varies from a pale white to a golden yellow.

Otherwise, they are a rainbow trout in every way.

Graham says the stocking schedule from Crystal Lake will change this year from previous schedules.

“Crystal Lake will stock once per month in the Bull Shoals Tailwater and Spring River from now through December,” Graham said. “Previous stockings from Crystal Lake occurred from May through July.”

The limit for trout on the White River below Bull Shoals Dam and on Spring River, including golden rainbow trout, is five trout per day. Anglers may keep only one trout longer than 14 inches.
