Below is from the PFBC SE Region Reports section, but ditto for anywhere in the state. Check out the Trout Stocking page on the PFBC site for your county. There is info posted about when and where to meet to help stocking.
If you live in Southern Chester County on the south side of 322, consider coming out this year and helping to stock the Stocked Trout Waters.
The Stocked Trout Waters in Southern Chester County include Beaver Creek, Buck Run, Brandywine West Branch, Pocopson Creek, Elk & Big Elk Creeks, Octoraro Creek East Branch (in-season only), and four sections of the White Clay Creek (including one Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only Section that is also a Keystone Select Trout Waters).
We had very little help on some of the stockings which made it difficult to distribute the fish as evenly as we would have liked to. On the last stocking of the White Clay Creek, we only had three helpers.
We often get the anglers who wants to call in and complain that his favorite hole was not stocked well enough, or for reasons of bad weather and proximity to the road and or, for lack of help, it may have to be passed by.
The first thing we ask is if they came along to help stock and the usual answer is no. Stocking is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to give something back to the resource. It is also a great way to spend a day with a kid and to get them off the web and video games for a while.
The web site below has been updated and will give you all the dates, times and meeting locations for any county in Pennsylvania.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Beaver Creek, Pocopson Creek and Buck Run will be stocked on Tuesday, March 20. We will be meeting the stocking truck across from the Sadsburyville Post Office at 11:30 AM.
We have had very little help on our stockings. Please give something back to the resource that gives you so much and plan on coming out and helping us stock these fish. If you have not yet taken a kid on a stocking, put it on your list of things that you must do.
