Anglers with cabin fever (and fishing licenses) who have been impatiently waiting for open water will be cheered to learn that trout stocking began in mid-March in the eastern part of the state and now is occurring throughout the Commonwealth. Because of high flood waters, Division staff are refraining from stocking streams and rivers. Weekly trout stocking reports are posted and updated each Friday at
www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/recreation/fishing/trout/trout_stocking_schedule.htm. All schedules are subject to alteration or cancellation due to equipment failure, inclement weather, high water, or other unforeseen circumstances. Anglers without Internet access may also call the nearest District office for information: Western (413) 684-1646; Valley (413) 323-7632; Central (508) 835-3607; Northeast (978) 772-2145; or Southeast (508) 759-3406. Don't forget to try to "hook" a new angler of any age, especially a youngster; be sure to share the joys and challenges of fishing!
