Each year, the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks approximately 570,000 trout in 181 waterbodies in New Jersey. Anglers who purchase a trout stamp in addition to their New Jersey fishing license are eligible to fish for trout in these waters in accordance with listed timing restrictions, catch and release restrictions, size limits, and other regulations listed in our freshwater fishing digest (https://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/digfsh22.htm). This data layer shows the 86 stocked lakes and ponds, and links to the stocking schedule. Clicking on a lake or pond within the map will pull up the stocking table showing the number of fish to be stocked during the preseason and each week. The final approved stocking schedule will be published on the Division of Fish and Wildlife’s website at the link below. Also, the schedule is subject to trout production issues and may change due to rain or emergency weather conditions. For these unplanned stocking schedule changes or other necessary adjustments, visit our website at https://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/trtinfo_spring.htm. |
