Which lakes are being stocked this year?
Which lakes are being stocked this year?
As part of our popular Hatchery Stocking Program approximately 200 lakes are stocked with either brook trout or rainbow trout each spring as part of our urban stocking program. Trout are generally catchable size and in addition to providing angling opportunity may reduce pressure on more vulnerable wild stocks. Weekly stocking updates are a great way to stay up to date on stocking and sportfishing opportunities.
