Raising Your Trout

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the opening days of trout season, so they can truly “Catch the Value” of their purchase! After watching this video, you'll surely want to set your angling sights on the 2015 Regional Opening Day of Trout on April 4 in the 18 southeastern Pennsylvania counties and on the Statewide Opening Day of Trout on April 18.

Commonly viewed as the beginning of stocking season, March 1 is when adult trout stockings begin for Approved Trout Waters in preparation of the opening day of trout season. After opening day, in-season stockings continue for these waters. In addition to adults, fingerling trout are also stocked throughout the year. The Commission will again stock approximately 3.2 million adult trout in Commonwealth waters open to public angling. As with past practice, the average size of trout produced for stocking will be 11 inches long.

PFBC's Bureau of Hatcheries has the responsibility for raising and stocking what the Commission provides for trout season, and the Huntsdale State Fish Hatchery, located in Newville is featured in this video. Shown here is the 15-month-long commitment that the Commission maintains to bring those who fish the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania trout waters an uncommon angling experience.
