Trout Stocking to Resume at Hurricane Lake in Putnam County
1/28/2010
Hurricane Lake in Putnam County is again being stocked with trout beginning in January, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The lake will be stocked once in January and again in March.
Hurricane Lake was stocked with trout until 2002, when road construction and lake renovations caused stockings to cease. The lake is in a very populated area, and fishing pressure is expected to be heavy, as it was when previously stocked.
Hurricane Lake was inadvertently omitted from the 2010 Fishing Regulations as being on the stocking schedule.
