WVDNR Stocks Local Waters During Week of January 29

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) announced last week that the following waters were stocked during the week of January 29.
While daily trout stockings are not announced in advance, the WVDNR publishes a list of recently stocked waters at WVdnr.gov/fish-stocking. That list included the Burnsville and Sutton tailwaters as well as Stonewall Jackson tailwaters in Lewis County.
Anglers may also find out what waters have been stocked by calling the stocking hotline at 304-558-3399. In inclement weather, missed stockings are made up by either additional stocking runs or additional fish added to upcoming stocking events. For more information about trout stocking locations, anglers should check pages 14-15 in the 2024 Fishing Regulations Summary, available to download at WVdnr.gov/fishing-regulations
