Dougherty: Trout Season Opens April 5th

Pa. state Rep. Sean Dougherty helped the Fish and Boat Commission to provide a great #troutseason for his Northeast #Philly neighbors. Dougherty joined #PFBC conservation officers and volunteers to stock trout in the #Pennypack Creek. Every year the Fish and Boat Commission raises 3.2 million #trout in its statewide hatchery system. Trout season officially opens April 5th, but kids can get an early start on Mentored Youth trout Day, March 29th. Funds from the purchase of #fishing licenses pay for stocking and all trout stocking events are open to the public. There are hundreds of sporting goods, bait and tackle shops across the commonwealth where you can purchase a license or go to www.fishandboat.com to buy online and check out stocking schedules.
