Tom’s Creek in Montgomery County Now a “No Fall Stocking” Water

Richmond, VA — The Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) would like to let the public know that the stocked trout section of Tom’s Creek in Montgomery County will now be designated as a “no fall stocking” trout water.  As a result of this change, Tom’s Creek will not be stocked until January each year and will receive a total of four stockings between January 1 and May 15.

Anglers fishing stocked trout waters statewide are reminded to respect landowners and their property.  This will help to ensure continued stream access, which is essential to the continuation of the stocked trout program.
