Early Trout Season Opener in Pennsylvania

While the Pennsylvania trout season doesn't officially begin until April 14th, selected counties in the southeast portions of the state can begin trout fishing on Saturday (March 31st).

Eighteen counties have been given the go-ahead to begin the trout fishing season a couple of weeks ahead of of the rest of the state. Why? It's all part of a plan to increase trout fishing opportunities in the state's most popular area and improve stocking and management efforts.

This year, Pennsylvania trout fishing just got better! In addition to some folks getting to start the season early, the state has started stocking trout which are 30% larger than previous stockings!

Be sure to check the rules and regulations regarding the early trout season opener in Pennsylvania.

    It's about time the season opened earlier in high pressure areas. Personally I like to go to the Rainbow Paradise Trout Farm in Coudersport Pa. It is one of the few pay to fish places that allows catch and release using flys or bait with special hooks they sell. Potter County PA is the best when it comes to Trout fishing.

    I have caught several catch and release trout at the pond and it is well worth the trip.
