Bucks County Treasurer Kris Ballerini teamed up with volunteers and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to help stock the Delaware Canal ahead of trout season’s opening day on April 3.
“COVID took so many things away from us in 2020, but our connection to the outdoors seems only to have grown stronger,” Ballerini said. “It’s great to see, more and more folks taking advantage of the beauty that Bucks County has to offer.”
Fishing licenses and permits can be purchased through the Bucks County Treasurer’s Office. A valid fishing license is required for anyone age 16 and over when angling for any species in Pennsylvania.
