Brush Creek Park Pond, Beaver County
This 1.8 acre pond will be added as a new water to the adult trout stocking program in 2011. The pond will be stocked with rainbow trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods.
Eston Wilson Lake, Lackawanna County
This 8.3 acre lake was added to the stocking program in 2009. Initially, stocking was conducted on a preseason only basis. As a result of high angler use, an inseason stocking will be added to this water in 2011. The lake will be stocked with rainbow trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods.
Loch Alsh Reservoir, Montgomery County
Inseason stocking will be restored on this 5.4 acre lake following a reduction in the first inseason stocking and cancellation of the second inseason stocking due to a partial drawdown of the impoundment for repairs to the dam in 2010. The reservoir will be stocked with rainbow trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods
Maiden Creek, Berks County
Beginning with the 2011 season, a 1.3 mile downstream extension of trout stocking will occur on a popular section of this stream. Stocking will be conducted over a 3.6 mile section of stream extending from the confluence with Pine Creek downstream to the dam in Lenhartsville. This section will be stocked with brown and rainbow trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods.
North Fork Redbank Creek, Jefferson County
Early spring water quality improvements as a result of limestone sand applications by the North Fork Watershed Association will lead to the restoration of preseason stocking in a 2.7 mile reach of stream extending from the confluence with Hetrick Run downstream to the Egypt Road Bridge (SR 1027). This section of stream will be stocked with brook trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods.
Pine Creek, Allegheny County
Inseason stocking will be restored to a 1.0 mile section of stream extending from the North Park Lake dam breast downstream to approximately 400 yards upstream of the confluence with Montour Run. The inseason stocking was cancelled on this section of stream in 2010 due to problems associated with the drawdown of North Park Lake. This section of stream will be stocked with brown and rainbow trout during the preseason and spring inseason stocking periods.

In 2011, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) will stock approximately 3.2 million adult trout in the waters of the Commonwealth open to public angling. This figure includes trout produced at PFBC fish hatcheries and trout obtained from the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) as part of a cooperative agreement between the PFBC and the USFWS. As with past practice, the average size of the trout produced for stocking will be 11 inches in length.
