Please note that trout will not be stocked at Lake Accotink Park this year due to construction on the dam.

RULES
Under this program, all Virginia game and fishing laws apply, including a six-fish daily limit and the requirement for those 16 years and older to carry a current Virginia fishing license. In addition, all persons fishing in the park’s stocked waters must comply with the rules of the trout fishing program. This includes the requirement to purchase a park fishing pass prior to fishing, a one pole per person rule, and other rules outlined on the pass.
COMPLETE PROGRAM RULES
* Daily limit is 6 fish per pass holder
* One pole and/or line per person
* Netting and snagging are prohibited
* Participants age 16 years and older must carry a valid Virginia fishing license
* Fishing allowed during park hours only; parks close at dark
* $5 will be charged to replace a lost season pass
* Passes are nontransferable
* Pass is good at Lake Fairfax Park
* Violation of program rules will result in loss of fishing privileges at Fairfax County Park Authority sites for one year; no refund
A state-issued trout stamp is not required because the Park Authority’s trout stocking program is not funded by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Since you will only stock fish in Lake Fairfax this year and the pass price is more, can’t you stock for one extra time since more people will be in the lake this year?
