SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.VA. — In an effort to provide accessible fishing opportunities for families and new anglers during the 2020 spring fishing season, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources has announced the dates and locations of more than 70 trout stockings at several state parks and forests.

Stockings are scheduled on Fridays and Saturdays in March, April and May. They run through May 22.
“Our parks and forests have some of the best fishing spots in the state and we want to give folks a chance to experience their natural beauty while also enjoying a weekend fishing trip with their family,” said DNR Director Stephen McDaniel. “Our goal with these stockings is to make fishing fun and approachable for new anglers and people who aren’t able to get out and fish during the week at a regularly stocked lake or stream.”

Families who wish to stay at a state park or forest on a stocking weekend are encouraged to make travel plans in advance because cabins and lodges book up fast. Reservations can be made online at www.wvstateparks.com.
Anglers 15 and older should also make sure they have a valid fishing license, which can be purchased online at www.wvfish.com.
