    Warmwater/Coolwater Stocking

    The Fish and Boat Commission annually stocks streams and lakes in Pennsylvania with Warmwater/Coolwater species. 

    About Warmwater/Coolwater Stocking

    Warmwater/Coolwater (Muskellunge, Walleye, Channel Catfish​, panfish, etc.) species are typically stocked as juveniles. 

    Current year stockings are planned throughout the year. The best way to use our ww/cw stocking information is to look at prior years as it takes time (3 to 4 years depending upon the species) for juveniles to reach desirable or legal size (regulations allow anglers to keep).

    Warmwater/Coolwater Stocking Schedules

    We update schedules as changes arise, but note all stockings are subject to change without notices.
