The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has posted the 2006 stocking schedule on its website. OK, so it isn’t a big secret anymore.

To make the list simple to use, stocking information is broken down by county. Within each county, stream sections and lakes to be stocked are listed alphabetically and the entire year’s worth of trout stocking dates is shown for each.

Previously, separate lists were developed for stockings that took place prior to the start of the season and those that took place later in spring, fall and winter. Also included on the list are descriptions of the stream section to be stocked and the type of trout being released.

Stockings will start March 1 and as in previous years, will be spread throughout the spring, fall and winter months.

April 15 is the opening day of trout season.
