The law is "in possession."
You can fish the Caney or any other body of water where there are trout. However, if you catch one it must be returned immediately back to the water. You must have a trout stamp if you have trout in your possession.
Now all that said you are still taking a chance at a law enforcement agents discretion. I don't know where the line in the sand is on this but you can go fish with a regular license just don't keep any trout you may catch and get them back in the water quickly.
