The ODWC trout stocking schedule
- Stocking is tentative based on flooding, water temperatures, trout availability, road conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances. If stockings are temporarily suspended due to water conditions, they will resume once conditions allow. Any stocking changes will be noted here. Anglers can find information about the most recent stocking dates in the weekly ODWC fishing reports.trout schedule
- Blue River – Stockings occur from November 1 through March 31.trout schedule
- Mountain Fork (Beaver's Bend State Park) – Stockings occur year-roundtrout schedule

Stream temperatures and low dissolved oxygen often threaten continued stockings, especially during the summer months. The Wildlife Department will requests water releases as necessary to maintain the trout fisheries, but lack of available water and high summer ttrout schedule
