These are the 30 most-stocked waters. Browse all 195 West Virginia waters with logs - every water with at least 2 recorded stockings gets its own page.

What this page is: a mirror of WVDNR weekly stocking announcements (trout-stocking posts) - nothing more. We do not predict stockings, and agencies sometimes stock unannounced or change plans. Official page: https://wvdnr.gov/fishing/fish-stocking/.

West Virginia stocking questions

Does West Virginia announce trout stockings in advance?

No. WVDNR announces stockings only after the water has been stocked, typically by the end of the business day. When a West Virginia water is listed here, the fish are already in.

When does West Virginia stock trout?

West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) posts on this cadence: weekly announcement posts during the stocking season. Season: primarily January through May, plus fall stockings.

How soon after a stocking is the fishing good?

Most anglers do best from a day or two after the plant through the following two or three weeks. Fresh fish hold near the release point at first, then spread out and start feeding more naturally. There is more on this in our guide to fishing after a stocking.

Where does this data come from?

Directly from WVDNR weekly stocking announcements (trout-stocking posts) - the agency's own posting. We link the official page and publish the same rows as CSV.

How current is this page?

It rebuilds daily; this copy reflects the source as of 2026-10-04.
