The last of the Fish and Boat Commission’s in-season trout stocking dates
is approaching, and anglers can take advantage of those stockings planned for
this weekend.
   
Two announced in-season stockings will occur tomorrow.
    The Francis E. Walter Reservoir near White Haven is scheduled to receive
trout at noon Saturday, and Moon Lake in Plymouth Township is scheduled to
receive trout at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow.
   
The last of the in-season trout stocking in Luzerne County will occur
sometime next week on the Lehigh River below the Walter Dam to the confluence
of Sandy Run.
   
The exact time and date of most in-season stocking are not made public.
“Announced” stockings optimize angling opportunities for folks with limited
time to fish.
   
At this time of year county waterways are heavy with fish. Last week the
Fish Commission was scheduled to stock Harveys Creek, Irena Lake, Lily Lake,
Lake Frances, the Nescopeck Creek, Pike Creek and the Big Wapwallopen Creek.
   
Two Fish for Free days, in which no fishing licenses is required, have been
scheduled. They will be held Saturday, May 29, and Saturday, June 5.
