Questions

Where do these North Carolina trout stocking records come from?

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission publishes a schedule rather than confirmed stockings; dates can move with weather and fish supply. We check its feed daily. Each row links to the agency's own page.

How often is the North Carolina trout stocking list updated?

Once a day, from the agency's published schedule.

How current is the North Carolina list?

A monthly Delayed Harvest schedule; the spring Hatchery Supported schedule is a PDF we do not read.
