The Provincial Stocking Program was significantly impacted by the drought in 2025, and as a result, there will be no rainbow trout and fewer brook trout available for stocking this spring. The available brook trout inventory will be prioritized for the Learn to Fish and Trout Derby Programs first, followed by spring stocking throughout May and June. Please check back regularly; lakes will be posted after they are stocked. Stocking levels are expected to return to the regular spring schedule in 2027.
