SURPLUS TROUT TO BE STOCKED IN PA WATERS June 2, 2009 Pennsylvania trout anglers will be receiving a bonus of sorts with additional trout to be stocked in the Southeast part of the state. The fish are “extras” raised by the Bellefonte State Fish Hatchery this year. The Commission stocks some 3.4 million adult trout in Pennsylvania waters open to public angling. This figure includes trout produced at state fish hatcheries, trout obtained from the United States Fish & Wildlife Service as part of a cooperative agreement, and trout obtained through a purchase contract with a commercial hatchery. The additional fish stockings represent a surplus from our Bellefonte Hatchery operations. The first of these stockings will be on June 4th, with fish planted in section 2 & 6 of the Tulpehocken Creek, Berks County. On June 5th section 4 of the Pohopoco Creek in Carbon County and section 4 of Saucon Creek in Northampton County will receive fish. A stocking is also planned for June 11th in section 3 of Hay Creek, Berks County To locate these stream sections and other great fishing destinations, click on the “County Guides” section of the PFBC website at www.fishandboat.com.

Maybe this is a different Bellefonte? but why the hell are they taking trout from Centre county down there? We have a bunch of our own streams in central PA that could use some mid summer stocking. Kids are getting out of school now and would certainly enjoy them.

trout from Bellefonte get shipped all over the state... in fact some of the trout up here in BradCo where from Centre County this year. Bellefonte just needs to get rid of there stocks since they are putting in a new filtration system in the hatchery.
