Under the current schedule, the first stocking is on 3/18 in the DH water and yet there is a scheduled stocking upstream just above the reservoir on 2/23 in the regular stocked water where no one can fish until April.
Unless it's my browser or something else, there is a completely new look to the PFBC Stocking Schedule for 2024. PFBC Adult Trout Stockings There isn't any 2024 data yet, but it seems a LITTLE easier to navigate.
Under the current schedule, the first stocking is on 3/18 in the DH water and yet there is a scheduled stocking upstream just above the reservoir on 2/23 in the regular stocked water where no one can fish until April. Further the section below the DH is "open to year round fishing" regs and it isn't stocked until 4/8 after the season opener.
A few months later in the April 1983 PA Angler there was another article about Operation Future by Michael J. Bickler of the Commission's Office of Information that appears to be an attempt to quell fears amongst the "non-tweed hat crowd" that Operation Future meant the ultimate end to stocking.
Many of those streams (at least here in the southeast corner of the state) that used to get fall stocking have conditions that will not allow most trout to survive the summer. They die or move.

Four waters removed from the stocking list and 20 others will be back on the normal stocking schedule in an agreement with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A study of the trout diet by WVU will help determine the potential risk to endangered crayfish and candy darter
I get that for serious anglers. Unfortunately, angler use has been dropping off precipitously on many stocked trout streams by May 10, making later stockings on a number of streams seem somewhat wasteful. Some WCO’s talk about nobody being along the streams when the truck shows up for an inseason stocking.
FWIW, I've caught stocked brook trout in several streams that are listed as only getting bows and browns. I think that sometimes a few get mixed into the wrong raceway or mixed up at some other point in the stocking process. It could also be a fish stocked by some other organization. That particular fish looks like a fairly recently stocked ...
Middle Creek is stocked as one section according to the 2021 stocking schedule and the lower section limit is West Lime Rock Rd. The upper limit is the reservoir. I has been stocked as a single section for a long time, possibly since 1982, although the lower section/stocking limit was moved upstream many years ago.
