Here is the latest trout stocking info from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Some of the better rivers in the state were just stocked, including the Jackson River, Bullpasture, Maury, Mill Creek and the Middle Fork and South Fork of the Holston River.
The Holston River is a place I’ve not yet fished. It is widely regarded as one of the best trout streams in the east, and a few say in the entire U.S. The Holston holds an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 trout per mile. A lot of the fish are wild brown trout. There are some good tips on fishing the Holston from the Blue Grass Chapter of TU. Check out the area right around here:
