NH Fish Stocking Report
Greetings and welcome to the New Hampshire fish stocking report.
PAST STOCKING REPORTS:

JULY 26: Fish stocking is just about over for the season, so this report is now suspended until next spring. The final 2012 report (below) is for July 16-19. Thanks for reading, and we'll look forward to reporting to you again next year. Here is some info about fish stocking from fisheries chief Steve Perry:
"Fish stocking occurs primarily from mid-March to early July. There are several reasons for this, the foremost is related to water temperatures. Since trout cannot tolerate water temperatures when they warm to the mid-70s, they need to be stocked prior to the onset of this occurrence. Secondly is the need for grow-out space for the next year's production of trout. As the young trout start to increase substantially in weight during the spring and summer months, their densities need to be spread out among the available rearing containers in order to minimize problems that can arise from over-crowding conditions.
"What is occurring at the present time (late July) with respect to stocking is essentially the release of surplus fish into suitable waters. This occurs because hatcheries typically rear approximately 10% more fish than what are needed to meet stocking targets as a safeguard to cover any potential unforeseen losses due to disease or other causes. This safety margin is adjusted periodically as inventory counts take place, such as occurs when fish densities are being thinned by moving the young fish to empty rearing containers. This ensures that the hatcheries are only carrying what they need to carry and provides occasional bonus stockings to select waters."
The N.H. Fish Stocking Report web page is possible because of a 2004 NH state law which allows the Executive Director of N.H. Fish and Game to provide past stocking information on a weekly basis. Look for an update every week between April and July. If you want to be reminded to visit this stocking page, find us on Facebook! Click here for links to current and past fishing reports.
This report is usually posted on Thursdays (during stocking season) and includes stocking locations from the previous week.
