With the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s “Great White Fleet” of stocking trucks beginning the 2021 trout-stocking schedule this week, all Pennsylvania streams designated as stocked trout waters are closed to fishing.
The streams will remain closed until the statewide Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day on Saturday, March 27, and the statewide opening day of trout fishing season on Saturday, April 3.
Stocked trout waters are waters with significant portions open to public fishing, except during the closed period in the weeks before trout fishing season, and are stocked with trout.
The closed period is happening 2 weeks early this year, as the commission has advanced the entire trout schedule as part of its coronavirus pandemic response.

PFBC To Host Virtual Outdoor Expo February 8-12
HARRISBURG, Pa. â The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) invites the public to participate in a virtual outdoor expo scheduled for February 8-12, 2021.
This virtual event will be hosted on the PFBC Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/PaFishandBoat), featuring agency experts conducting several informational sessions about fishing and boating topics.
âIn the absence of many of the popular outdoor shows and expos that that have been cancelled across the state this winter, Fish and Boat Commission staff will be missing out on some great opportunities to interact with the public and let them know about our programs,â said Mike Parker, PFBC Director of Communications. âBy offering these virtual sessions with some of our most knowledgeable staff and educators, we hope to fill a void for people who have an interest in certain areas of fishing and boating, and provide them with the chance to ask a question or two.�
Trout stocking schedule reinstituted by Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

After a year without advance notice to anglers of trout stockings during 2020, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has announced that the trout stocking schedule is back for 2021.
The commission removed the advance notice component of its stocking program last year as part of its response to the coronavirus pandemic. The aim was to reduce angler crowding along streams on stocking dates and encourage social distancing.
“The release of our stocking schedule is always a welcome reminder that spring will be here before we know it,” said Brian Wisner, director of the commission’s Bureau of Hatcheries. “We’re happy that we’ll be able to provide these stocking dates to the anglers this season so they can learn which local waters will be ready for some great fishing in just a few weeks.”
