Nearly 21,000 rainbow trout averaging 14.6 inches were stocked in 16 streams and 15 ponds across the state during the two-week fall stocking period.

In addition to those fish, 745 breeders averaging 21.1 inches awaited anglers, and many of those fish remain available. 

More trout will be stocked just prior to Thanksgiving, thanks to the Division of Fish and Wildlife's Winter Trout Stocking Program.
