2010 Oregon Trout Stocking Schedules

2010 trout stocking schedules will be posted as they become available. Most schedules should be posted in January/February. However, in some districts where the winter snow pack can influence which water bodies will be stocked and when, the trout stocking schedules may not be posted until March.

Until the 2010 schedules arrive, we will leave in place the 2009 trout stocking schedules, which will give you some idea of what water bodies are usually stocked and what the stocking seasons are.
