Anyone know the stocking dates, protocol for this coming season and associated rules? I assume the C&R only stretches remain open regardless.

Here is what we learned last week that I posted on another hunting forum.....

Looks like I even beat the Division's press release this time. Hot off the press from the Director regarding this year's trout stocking:

A total of 500,000 trout will be distributed in four weeks during pre-season stocking which will begin on March 15th instead of 22nd.

Trout stocked waters will be closed to fishing beginning March 15th.

Trout stocked waters will be open for Catch & Release ONLY beginning April 1st.

Regular trout season begins on April 10th with a six (6) trout limit (check regs for wild brown and brook trout limits).

No Bonus Broodstock lakes will be designated for 2021.

There will be no in-season waterbody closures (such as the Musky closed until 5 pm on Fridays for stocking).

The remaining 70,000 rainbow trout will be stocked during a one week period in May.



So a little different than last year, but not by much.

Will the TCA's will be open for C&R fishing prior to opening day as usual?

Thank you Brian.

The Gorge and FB No-Kill stretches; do they remain open to fishing year round or closed from 3/15 thru 4/1 ?

My question also.

I'm pretty sure they stay open ... That's always been the deal there since new regs were introduced.

Yes, of course. No changes at all to TCAs or No-Kills.
