FALL, WINTER TROUT STOCKING TO BEGIN OCTOBER 2!
HARRISBURG, Pa. (September 28) – With the fall season arriving across Pennsylvania, some fantastic stocked trout fishing opportunities are approaching on dozens of waterways!
Beginning the week of October 2, 2023, and continuing through mid-December, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will stock approximately 117,500 hatchery-raised adult Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout in 119 stream sections and lakes. These stockings will immediately replenish some of the most popular fishing spots across the Commonwealth and provide ice fishing opportunities as conditions allow throughout the winter.
“Anglers who spend time on the water during the fall season, especially, are surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery and comfortable temperatures of the year,” said Robert Brown, PFBC Deputy Director of Field Operations. “The enjoyment of fishing on a stream or lake in fall and winter can be even more enjoyable when you plan your adventure around stocked trout fishing opportunities. The chance to catch stocked trout complements the world-class wild trout fisheries that also come alive around the same time the leaves start changing colors.”
