Massachusetts Fall Trout Stockings are underway

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Fall Trout Stocking Underway

This fall 74,100 trout, comprised of 66,100 rainbow trout and 8,000 brown trout, will be stocked in Massachusetts water bodies.
The fish from McLaughlin, Montague, Sandwich, and Sunderland Hatcheries range in size from about 12 inches to more than 14 inches. Stocking will start after September 28 provided water temperatures are cool enough. Trout have been allocated equally to each of the five MassWildlife Districts.

Due to the short stocking season, fall stocking activity is not posted on the website’s stocking schedule. See Trout Stocked Waters for a list of Massachusetts waters that are usually stocked in the fall. Contact your local DFW office for more information.
