2021 ADULT TROUT STOCKING SCHEDULE NOW AVAILABLE! 

Excitement for the spring trout fishing season kicks into high gear today as the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is pleased to make its 2021 adult trout stocking schedule available using the FishBoatPA mobile app and website (www.fishandboat.com). 

"While winter seems to be here to stay for a while, the release of our stocking schedule is always a welcome reminder that spring will be here before we know it," said Brian Wisner, Director of the PFBC Bureau of Hatcheries. "We're happy that we'll be able to provide these stocking dates to the anglers this season so they can learn which local waters will be ready for some great fishing in just a few weeks. So, get your gear ready, buy your fishing license, and start planning your opening day adventure and fishing trips throughout the season."

This year, the PFBC will begin stocking two weeks earlier than usual, beginning the week of February 15. These accelerated operations will ensure that the most waters will be stocked in advance of the single, statewide Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day on Saturday, March 27, and the single, statewide Opening Day of Trout Season on Saturday, April 3. 

 Due to stocking operations beginning earlier, all streams that are designated as Stocked Trout Waters will be closed to angling from February 15 until the statewide Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day and the statewide Opening Day of Trout Season. To provide for additional angling opportunities during this time, trout which are stocked in lakes, reservoirs, and ponds during the pre-season will be open to catch-and-release angling but may not be harvested until statewide Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day and statewide Opening Day of Trout Season.
