Utah fish stocking schedule

What the records show

Timing repeats for waters stocked every year. 417 waters were stocked in every year from 2021 to 2025. For those waters, 85% of 2025 stocking records (1,878 of 2,201) fell within 14 days of a 2024 stocking at the same water (same day of the year, give or take two weeks).

Stocking follows the seasons. In 2025, stocking records by month:

How we word patterns

• We look at the last five complete years (2021 to 2025) and split each month into early (1 to 10), mid (11 to 20) and late (21 to end).
• A part of the year counts as a pattern when the water was stocked in it in at least 3 of those 5 years. Two neighboring parts can combine, for example "mid to late May".
• We show a pattern only for waters stocked in at least 3 of the last 5 years. 487 water pages have one.
• We write "stocked in late May in 4 of the last 5 years". We never state a future stocking date.
• When a water was usually stocked by this date in past years but has no stocking yet this year, the page says so plainly. 77 water pages say that as of Sept. 24, 2026.

Get a heads-up

Our stocking alerts can email you when a water you follow shows up in the DWR report, and, if you choose, a heads-up when past records show it was often stocked around this time of year.
