How It Works

Use the map to zoom and pan to different regions of the state and discover new destinations for fishing. Zoom to the area you want to explore and then click on an icon for more information on that location. Stocking locations on streams are accurate, but fish swim, so be sure to investigate other reaches of the stream as well.
 
If you are looking for stocking information for a particular town, use the dropdown menu on the map above.

If you are looking for more detailed stocking information; for a particular waterbody or town, go to the MA 2022 Stocking Page, type the name of the waterbody or town into the search window to find all stocking reports for that location. You can also use the table to sort based on an attribute including town, waterbody, or type of fish.

If you prefer, you can get a list of all waters that will be stocked this year.

*Note: The stocking report is subject to change depending on staffing, equipment, and weather conditions.

      I agree, its not even fair that peters pond get stocked 20 times while the north eastern ponds like stiles pond only get stocked 3 times. They also get better fish. Its really unfair
