Trophy stocking This year will be continuing our "trophy" fish stocking. The trophy program increases the number of Trophy fish stocked to almost 25,000 statewide. Nearly 30 miles of trophy water will be available for angling this season in Vermont. This is in addition to 36 ponds and lakes receiving about 25% of the fish stocked as trophy fish. So if you enjoy catching big fish this should be an exciting year.
