Hatchery trout headed to Stafford Pond

Posted

TIVERTON — The Department of Environmental Management's Division of Fish and Wildlife will stock trout in Stafford Pond, Tiverton, on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

A blue-green algae infestation prevented the department from stocking trout earlier this fall. Now however, the advisory has been lifted and stocking can take place.

Anglers can still expect the usual winter trout stocking. Dates and locations will be announced.

 A 2017 fishing license is required for anglers 15 years of age and older. A Trout Conservation Stamp is also required of anyone wishing to keep or possess a trout or to fish in a catch-and-release or 'fly-fishing only' area. For more information or to purchase a license, visit www.dem.ri.gov.

The daily creel and possession limit for trout is five through November 30, 2017; and two from December 1, 2017, through February 28, 2018.
