I was being nosy last night, and going though the trout stockings from 2010 in the wvdnr website. They stocked trout (brood) all the way up until the end of August. I couldnt believe it, in my 20+ years of fishing i never knew this. I gues if you read your regs its hard to tell what you will learn. Anyone looking for late season trout fishing, look around Summersville WV. Pretty country and some nice fish
The reason they do this jason is cause there stockin brood so they can grow and multiply by trout season
exactly now i know this we can trout fish year round now....
Almost bro ! most are cought due to the lack of the D>N>R as far as stocking the dont stock enough ! and some years when they have the money and they do have the funds to stock enough they won't tell anyone and they die toward the summer months if they don't go deep in the lake which they don't in East lynn cause they put them in below the dam ! either way I keep up with when and where they stock and I'm there the day after most of the time ! and I usually catch them on thesAttachment 52718eAttachment 52717 Attachment 52716!Attachment 52715

What flyrob said.....kinda. These summer stockings are mostly done in the tailwater sections of East Lynn, Summersville and Sutton and I think at least some in the potomac branches. But almost none actually make it very long due to overfishing and the fact that they are put in warmwater streams with borderline water quality.Quote:

I also hear Elkhorn Creek in McDowell holds some nice rainbows, however the water is dirty and you don't want to eat them....you can also usually catch some in cranberry or even the williams throughout the summer with a little effort.
I do have a friend that caught a 6lb Brood Goldie after one of these stocking on the South Branch.....AND 1500 lbs of rainbow were JUST helicopter dropped into the Gauley a couple days ago.
