While daily trout stockings are not announced in advance, the WVDNR publishes a list of recently stocked waters at WVdnr.gov/fish-stocking. Anglers may also find out what waters have been stocked by calling the stocking hotline at 304-558-3399. In the event of inclement weather, missed stockings will be made up before the end of the month by making additional stocking runs or adding extra fish to upcoming stockings. For more information about trout stocking locations, anglers should check pages 6–7 in the 2025 Fishing Regulations Summary, available to download at WVdnr.gov/fishing-regulations.
All anglers 15 years and older are required to have a West Virginia fishing license and a valid form of identification while fishing in the state. Trout stamps are required for those fishing for trout. Licenses and stamps may be purchased online at WVfish.com.
