HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Fishing around Houston just got a lot easier, thanks to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

The agency will be opening two Neighborhood Fishin' lakes around the area to offer fun and convenient fishing opportunities to families.

Starting Nov. 30, fishing lakes at Burke Crenshaw Park in Pasadena and Herman Little Park between Aldine and Spring will be stocked with hundreds of rainbow trout every two weeks to provide fishing fun throughout the winter.
