Adult Trout Stocking Schedules

Anglers looking forward to Pennsylvania’s popular spring trout season have another tool at their fingertips, as the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) has made its 2024 adult trout stocking schedule available using the FishBoatPA mobile app and website, www.Fishandboat.com.

Trout StockingThe trout stocking schedule is searchable by county, lists the waterways in alphabetical order, and indicates stocking dates, meeting locations for volunteers, and the species of trout that are planned to be stocked at each location.  In 2024, Pennsylvania’s statewide Opening Day of Trout Season will be held on Saturday, April 6.  A single, statewide Mentored Youth Trout Day will take place on Saturday, March 30.

Stocking operations began the week of February 19. Anglers should note that fishing is not permitted on lakes and streams designated as Stocked Trout Waters until 8 a.m. on the opening day of trout season, with the exception of the Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day, unless waters are included in the Stocked Trout Waters Open to Year-Round Fishing program.
