Chanel 3 WFSB did a piece on the trout stocking and hatcheries sand how the lack of winter has produced larger fish to be stocked. It has also caused earlier stocking of fish - over 12,000 stocked already. Pretty cool footage. Here is a link to the video: http://www.wfsb.com/story/17012577/state-stock-rivers-with-thousands-of-trout?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=6779746

Hi Michael,

Mill River is stocked Exclamation

Go to the DEP site and then to the stocked waters list and maps.

Those TV reports don't give enough info.

Hi E,

They're stocking NOW!

The fish are so big and crowded in the tanks now at the hatchery, that they have to get them out.

Only so many people and trucks at the hatchery so they'll be stocking daily the waters. Exactly where and which day isn't reported, but they're doing it Exclamation

Usually it takes 2 weeks or so to get the initial stockings in all listed trout waters.

DEEP never tells you WHEN they are stocking. They do list places they stock or have stocked. Every year most spots get fish starting in early March so put this in your memory bank. Some spots will get an additional stocking a few weeks after the opener as well.

Yeah, they usually tell you which week they are stocking but not the day!

Definitely a cool report. The two employees in waders in some of the ponds they showed are some of the hardest working guys I've met, period. Great group of guys and gals.
