Fall trout stocking

[Capt -Jerry P]

Starting soon!!!!!


Fresh water MONGERING

[Pfishingruven]

Just a couple of weeks to go.  I have my trout stamp this year...  I haven't trout fished in many, many years.

 

[mgm]

Yup, and this rain should get stream levels up for the initial stocking.....some nice breeders going in this year.

[Bobby Wilds]

yea, i dunno which i would rather do this year though.  hit the streams and watch as people crowd, shoulder to shoulder, just like the spring, or hit the beach.  i guess it all depends on the weather and how the fall run is progressing.

[Capt -Jerry P]

small creeks, no crowds, and the biggest trout of the year is why i like it

[bassnblues]

I can't wade a trout strream anymore but when I did a lot of trout fishing, my favorite time of year was the winter. Plenty of holdover fall stocked fish and next to no one fishing.

[Bobby Wilds]

yea, winter time is the right time.....my favorite stream is the stretch of the s branch known as the gorge.  artificial only.....which i only fly fish for trout anyways.

[bassnblues]

That's one of my favorite areas too. I like the stetch below the lake in Califon to where the Gorge starts.

One Christmas morning I got two beutiful 18" rainbows right after each other there.

Also like the Pequest in Belvidere below the falls and the South Branch around High Bridge.

[Bobby Wilds]

yea, those are all good areas.  i also like the musky along rt 57.  used to be good up at the rt 80 bridge, but with all the development it really slowed up and became too stagnant.

At 14 inches to 20 inches, these brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout will have reels screaming from Sussex County to Atlantic County. Trout fishing in New Jersey isn't just a spring thing anymore. In fact, the fishing's even better in the fall. Beautiful weather, spectacular foliage, more elbow room and best of all: those big trout. So get out on the water and get in on the hottest trout fishing action in the tri-state area. Simply buy and print your fishing license and trout stamp online at www.njfishandwildlife.com/licenses.htm. It's that easy.

Just that big trout on the end of your line.  This message was sent to you by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Good stuff 

[Pfishingruven]

Yeah, this is the States way of trying to get more people to fish freshwater and buy licenses and trout stamps.  The last few years, giong off of licenses bought was significantly lower and some of the lowest numbers in decades!!  If this is what they will continue to do...FINE by me !
