Fall stocking begins around the last week of September. Close to 60,000 rainbow trout that are 12 inches or longer and at least 4,000 brown trout about 9+ inches long will be stocked across Massachusetts this fall.
How it works
If you want to fish for trout, don't forget your fishing license! Buy your license online at MassFishHunt, at MassWildlife offices, or at license vendors.
If you are looking for stocking information for a particular waterbody or town, use the table. Type the name of the waterbody or town into the search window to find all stocking reports for that location. You can also use the table to sort based on an attribute including town, waterbody, stocking date, or type of fish.
Use the map to zoom and pan to different regions of the state and discover new destinations for fishing. Zoom to the area you want to explore and then click on an icon for more information on that location. Stocking locations on streams are accurate, but fish swim, so be sure to investigate other reaches of the stream as well.

*Note: The stocking report is subject to change depending on staffing, equipment, and weather conditions.
