Trout anglers, mark your calendar - the opening of approximately 1,100 miles of hatchery-supported trout waters in 25 counties is 7 a.m. on April 7.

While fishing on hatchery-supported trout waters, anglers can harvest a maximum of seven trout per day, with no minimum size limits or bait restrictions. The season runs until March 1, 2013.

Find out where to fish by downloading a trout fishing map for each county. These maps give anglers a guide to fishing regulations in effect on specific streams. They also provide locations of all waters open to public trout fishing.
