Memorial Day Fishing Guide

Fish and Game crews have been stocking fish around the state, and more will be added before the holiday weekend.

Due to COVID-19, Memorial Day will be memorable in ways people hadn’t anticipated, but fishing will remain a favorite activity during the holiday weekend. Fish and Game crews have been stocking trout and other fish, and anglers will have ample opportunity to catch them.

Because facilities—such as campgrounds and boat launches—will be limited, we encourage you to do homework before you go.

And, have fun fishing!
