Fall is here which means the stocking is near!!

It’s the first day of fall - which means fall trout stocking is right around the corner!

Starting October 6, two-year old trout averaging about 14" - 18" in length, along with some three-year old broodstock will be stocked in several rivers, ponds, streams and lakes throughout New Jersey.

During the 2020 fall trout stocking season, the Division of Fish and Wildlife will put approximately 27,000 trout in the state's major trout waters – 6,000 more fish than previous years! The fish are stocked from the Pequest Trout Hatchery starting October 6 and stocking concludes October 14.

All fall-stocked waters may be fished as soon as they are stocked. Waterbodies stocked will be posted in our Stories after stocking is completed each day.
