Does anyone know of some good trout spots in central new jersey or Close to the mercer county area?

I have fished the Assunpink at Rt 130 in Robbinsville. You will find most guys on the north bound side (there is/was a parking lot there), I was on the southbound side of 130. Almost had to put down a goose that chased me away from her nest, so, watch where you are walking to get to the water.

Did ok and was away from the crowd. But that was several years ago, don't know how it is not. They were stocking it at the time, probably still are.

Mercer has several spots along Stony Brook and the Assunpink.  Neither is stocked as heavily as they used to be.  Colonial Lake and Rosedale Lake are both stocked and a lot of trout are released in the D&R canal.

thanks guys.. i fish the assunpink usually but it doesnt hold trout i guess due to the water? so i have to wait until april when they stock the stream again.. i fished the D&R canal a few times both by the river and upstream by whitehead road where my firehouse is located and never caught a trout.. I want to go fish round valley for some trouphy lakers but i dont have a boat so if anyone wants a tag along i will be willing to go with and have gas money!!!
