Annual trout stocking begins in PA lakes and streams

EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — Friday, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission began its annual operations to stock trout in hundreds of lakes and streams.

Volunteers helped to stock the Keystone Select section of Quittapahilla Creek, located within Quittie Creek Nature Park in Annville, Lebanon County.

Trout stock canceled for Lackawanna County waterway

Anglers may enjoy trout fishing immediately in keystone select streams as long as they use artificial lures and practice catch-and-release.

With stocking underway, all stocked trout waters statewide are now closed to fishing until the opening day of trout season.

Trout season begins in Pennsylvania on April 6th at 8:00 am, with the exception of Mentored Youth Trout Day on March 30.
