Delayed Harvest Stocking
The Delayed Harvest* (DH) season for 2024 is back! The LOS TU chapter is happy to support our annual commitment to help the Setzer Hatchery by stocking the North Mills River and Spring Creek.
Stocking begins at North Mills River on October 2nd . Plan to meet at the N. Mills Campground parking lot at 10 am to organize for the day. That stocking will be led by Brian Gustin and he needs your help to be successful. (To contact Brian, use dcgustin@yahoo.com email address). Mark your calendars the next stocking for North Mills River will be on November 4th.
Stocking of Spring Creek will be on October 4th. The stocking truck seems to be getting there at different times than in the past. So, let’s plan to meet at 11:00 am to get organized. We meet in the parking lot behind Big Pillow Brewing. Steve Burton will lead that stocking, but he needs your help to be successful. (To contact Steve, use stburton007@gmail.com email address.) Mark your calendars the next stocking for Spring Creek will be on November 8th.
For more information on the NCWRC stocking program, go to ncwildlife.org/fishing/trout or send an email to Brian or Steve, our stocking program leads.
*Delayed Harvest (DH) ‘season’ is October 1, 2023 until June 1, 2024. During this time, all trout caught in the DH streams must be returned unharmed to the stream. Additional regulations include only artificial, single hook lures, no live bait, and no scent enhancements. Please be sure to check NC Wildlife Commission regulations for other special rules during this period.
**Stocking dates listed above are subject to change due to unexpected events especially weather. Changes will be announced through social media and on ncwildlife.org sometimes on a weekly basis.
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
