2008 Spring Trout Stocking Information

Up-To-Date Information:

John Denning from the Potomac-Garrett State Forest reports that Lost Land road is once again open to traffic after a temporary portable bridge was put in place to span the area of a failed culvert pipe under the road.

We will keep you posted as the Forest Service continues to restore this important river access.

The 2008 spring stocking schedule is here. Remember, the information provided through this page is for the spring trout stocking, not the much smaller fall stocking. For information regarding the fall stocking please check the Fisheries Service homepage for updated information - usually posted the first or second week of October, after the stocking has begun. This spring schedule is the full listing of all locations along with closure schedules.

• To view the online version of The Fisheries Services' 2008 Spring Trout Stocking Schedule, go to www.dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/stocking/springstocktable.html, this page has links to Google maps of the particular streams. The Google maps show the traditional stocking areas, for actual locations, dates and numbers stocked please refer to the schedule.

Maryland anglers can still enjoy trout fishing in many area waters. Be sure to check out the new maps linked directly to the full stocking table, not only do the maps provide directions to stocked locations across the state but they also provide some fishing regulations and other useful information. You can also get continued stocking up-dates at 1-800-688-3467.

Stocking levels were increased from 2007. However the continued closure of several hatchery facilities due to whirling disease resulted in about 15% fewer fish than 2006.

MDNR is asking anglers to continue to be vigilant about not spreading whirling, other disease and invasive organisms. For information on how you can help look below this article. A detailed synopsis of our 2007 whirling disease testing results and related information is now available at this site.

The DNR trout stocking program is funded entirely by the sale of freshwater fishing licenses, trout stamps and Federal Sportfish Restoration Program (Wallop-Breaux) funds which are generated by anglers and boaters’ tax dollars.
