Northcentral Region Regulated Trout Waters

Statewide Opening Day of Trout Season

Opening Day: April 5

Stocked Trout Waters

– New Addition

– Section(s) of this Stocked Trout Water is also managed under Miscellaneous Special Regulations.

– This red keystone indicates that this water is a Keystone Select Stocked Trout Water. The Keystone Select Stocked Trout Waters program provides anglers with an exciting opportunity to fish for larger trout. Under the program, approximately 10,000 large trout, 2- to 3-years old and measuring between 14 to 20 inches, are distributed among these select waters under the Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only Special Regulations and one water managed with Miscellaneous Special Regulations. These larger trout are stocked only during the spring stocking periods to coincide with the period of peak angler use. As with many waters managed with Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only and Miscellaneous Special Regulations, not all waters in the Keystone Select Stocked Trout Waters program receive a fall stocking. Fall stocking is limited to stream sections that are considered destination fisheries and provide relatively high angler use during fall. Currently, 16 of the 24 stream sections in this program receive a fall stocking.
