Re: Fall 2012 Trout Stocking Schedule:
Harrisburg — Folks who are into fall trout fishing may want to make the most of it in coming weeks because next year fall stockings will be just a memory on many streams.
The Pennsylvania & Boat Commission is planning to cut the number of waters it stocks in the fall by 50 to 70 percent because of lack of angler interest, according to Tom Greene, the agency’s cold-water management chief.
Currently, 150 lakes and streams are stocked in the fall.
“October is a great time to be on a trout stream, but no one is fishing,” Greene said. “The day of reckoning has finally come: we’ve got to stop wasting the resource.”
In Pennsy it's all about the deer hunting in the fall.
