2007 SPRING TROUT STOCKING BEGINS

Bay State anglers can look forward to over 625,800 feisty brook, brown, rainbow and tiger trout being stocked this spring according to figures released by MassWildlife. Weather and water conditions permitting, MassWildlife stocking trucks will be making their spring trout stocking runs to selected lakes and ponds in the northeast, southeast and central regions of the state by mid March.

"Half of the trout we will be putting out trout will be over 12 inches long," observes Chief Fish Culturist Dr. Ken Simmons. "They'll be distributed statewide throughout the stocking season by our five regional Wildlife District offices." 354,000 rainbows will be stocked along with 150,500 brown trout. The larger water bodies will receive the larger fish with the smaller brooks and streams receiving the younger fish. 112,400 brook trout will be stocked in a similar fashion. Anglers can also anticipate trying to take some of the 8,000 tiger trout to be released. These handsome fish, a cross between a female brown trout and a male brook trout.

Weekly trout stocking reports will be updated each Friday on the MassWildlife website (www.MassWildlife.org. All schedules are subject to alteration or cancellation due to equipment failure, inclement weather, high water or other unforeseen circumstances. Please refrain from asking when a particular water body will be stocked for the same reasons! Anglers without Internet access may also call the nearest District office for information on trout stocked waters: Western 413/447-9789; Valley 413/323-7632; Central 508/835-3607; Northeast 978/263-4347 or Southeast 508/759-3406. Don't forget to bring a new angler, youth or adult fishing!
