Rules to know
A Virginia freshwater fishing license is required, plus a trout license to fish designated stocked trout waters from October 1 through June 15. Delayed Harvest (DH) waters are catch-and-release with artificial lures only from October 1 through May 31. Some waters have special rules, so check DWR's regulations for the water you're fishing.
- Planned dates come from DWR's monthly schedule; completed stockings come from DWR's daily stocking report.
- Dates can change because of weather, water conditions or hatchery supply.
