The state Fish and Boat Commission has modified the schedule for trout season amid concerns of the coronavirus.
A single, statewide opening day for trout will occur on Saturday, April 18, and a single Mentored Youth Trout Day will occur on Saturday, April 11, 2020. This will be for all Pennsylvania counties.
This year’s trout stocking schedule will also be accelerated. Volunteers will not be permitted to help this year. The same amount of trout is expected to be stocked…about 3.2 million statewide.
The Commission says this move is intended to protect the safety of both public and staff as well as continue to preserve the opportunity to fish for trout this year.
