Trout season starts soon in Pennsylvania. Here's a map of scheduled stockings in Bucks County

Trout season in Pennsylvania begins April 6 and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has already stocked about 3.2 million trout across the state.

State fish hatcheries, cooperative private nurseries and other groups will add another 1 million trout after the season opens to licensed anglers ages 16 and older.

More than a dozen locations in Bucks County are scheduled for brown, rainbow and golden trout stocking through this season.

A current Pennsylvania trout permit is required to fish for trout in Pennsylvania waters. However, no fishing license is needed to fish on May 26 and July 4 on public waters.

The map below tells when, where and the kind of trout being stocked at each location.
