About this report
This site does one thing: it mirrors the fish-stocking postings that state fish & wildlife agencies publish, and puts them in one place - a national this-week view, a report per state, and a log per water. Every number traces to the agency posting named on the page.
Sources, state by state
| State | Source | Cadence | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washington | data.wa.gov dataset 6fex-3r7d 'WDFW Fish Plants' | continuous - WDFW hatchery releases post to data.wa.gov as they are recorded | year-round |
| Oregon | ODFW trout stocking schedule | weekly schedule, including already-scheduled future weeks | year-round, zone-dependent |
| California | CDFW Fish Planting Schedule | weekly - CDFW publishes planned plants by week, including the upcoming week | year-round, region-dependent |
| Idaho | IDFG regional stocking pages (7 regions) | weekly, by IDFG region | spring through fall |
| Utah | Utah DWR fish stocking report | updated as stockings are recorded (year-to-date table) | spring through fall, water-dependent |
| Colorado | CPW fish stocking report | recent stocking reports as CPW posts them (water + report date) | primarily spring through fall |
| Virginia | Virginia DWR daily stocking archive | daily during the stocking season | October 1 through May 31 (plus select fall/winter stockings) |
| West Virginia | WVDNR weekly stocking announcements (trout-stocking posts) | weekly announcement posts during the stocking season | primarily January through May, plus fall stockings |
| New York | data.ny.gov dataset e52k-ymww 'Fish Stocking Lists (Actual)' | annual actuals - DEC publishes each year's completed stockings (2011–2025) | history only; DEC posts current-season plans on dec.ny.gov |
What we do not do
- No predictions. If a stocking isn't posted by the agency, it isn't here. Agencies also stock unannounced.
- No fishing advice. Regulations, licenses and water closures are the agency's word, not ours - check before you go.
- No invented coverage. States outside the table above aren't covered yet; several (PA, NC, GA, TN among them) publish in formats we can't yet mirror reliably, and we'd rather omit a state than fake it.
Cadence & method
The site rebuilds daily. Each build pulls every source live; if a source is down we serve our last good copy of that state and say so on the state page. CSVs under /data/ hold the same rows the pages render.
