MORE THAN a million catchable size trout will be available to Virginia anglers this season which will reopen at noon, Saturday, April 1, reports Game Commission Fish Division Chief Jack Hoffman.
Over half, or some 508,250 trout are to be stocked under combined state and federal programs by opening day. An additional 306,800 trout are to be stocked in May followed by 204,100 to be rationed out during summer months and used for stocking the following fall and winter.
About 75% of the stocked trout are rainbows, 20% are brooks and 5%-are brown trout. The proportion of browns increases later in the season.
TROUT FISHERMEN are required to have a special $1 trout license in addition to their regular fishing license. Those fishing on National Forests must also have a National Forest stamp.
Funds from both of these sources help finance the trout stocking program.
