NEW JERSEY – Beginning Oct. 10, New Jersey Fish & Wildlife will stock approximately 20,000 2-year old Rainbow Trout, averaging 14-16 inches over a two-week period, according to the state Division of Fish and Wildlife.
In addition to these trout, up to 1,000 Broodstock trout (three-year old Rainbow Trout, averaging 18-22 inches) will also be stocked. Broodstock trout are mixed in with each truckload of fish to provide exciting fishing opportunities throughout the state.
All fall-stocked waters may be fished as soon as they are stocked. There are no “closed waters” during fall stocking, official said.
