The West Virginia Gold Rush is back this spring bigger and better than ever and will now include an additional weekend of stockings and a new contest.
Gold Rush will now start on March 27 and run through April 4. Each day, we’ll be stocking golden rainbow trout in more than 60 lakes and streams across the state, including 16 West Virginia state parks and forests.

Gov. Jim Justice announced the addition of extra stocking dates so families have more chances to participate in this special stocking and catch the beautiful golden rainbow trout.
