Virginia Trout Stocking Schedule Mar 2 2012

Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries

The latest trout stocking info from Virginia. The Jackson, notably. I mentioned Hogue Creek in Frederick county (not too far a drive for me) quite some time ago and still have not been there. Passage Creek is another recently stocked stream in the area if you live in Northern Virginia and consider anything up to an hour and a half drive “in the area.” It was just stocked last month, too.

Maryland Trout Stocking Schedule Mar 2 2012

Best I can tell, these are the streams Maryland stocked with trout this past week. For some reason, the dates are out of order. I suppose they didn’t fully update the site last week so some of what’s below may be as of a week ago…

Cecil Octoraro Creek (2 fish/day) – (300 RB/GN) Feb 22 GO >
