🎣 California Fish Plants for 10/20/2024 – 10/26/2024

📈 Overview of fish plants in California this week

This week, 10,500 lbs of trout are being stocked across 21 locations in California. Inyo County is receiving the largest amount with 3,000 lbs of trout. With some unannounced stockings, last week’s total reached 22,300 lbs of trout across 37 locations.

We’re heading up to check out a 4-mile stretch where salmon season is reportedly open in California. We’ll share what we find on YouTube first, so make sure you’re subscribed over there.

P.S. – We’ve started including fish reports from anglers across California, covering both freshwater and saltwater. You can find a lot more on our site, but the key reports will be highlighted at the bottom of these newsletters each week. Tight lines!
