Visit the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife website for details on trout stocking schedules and trout fishing in Delaware.
The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Browns are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts.
