Waters removed from the
stocking program

When survey data suggests that a waterway is no longer
suitable for adult trout stocking based on a loss of angler
access, environmental factors, or designation as a Class A wild
trout stream, the PFBC makes every attempt to reallocate fish
to a comparable location nearby. When inadequate angler
access is the reason for a removal, locations are monitored
for improvement, so these waters can be considered for
reinstatement to the stocking program if access is improved.

Akeley Run, Warren County

of trout stocking from a 2.3-mile section of stream
