Trout Stocking Begins Tuesday, October 12
« on: October 09, 2010, 03:29:05 PM »
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife reminds anglers that the fall stocking of trout in 16 streams and 16 lakes and ponds statewide will begin Tuesday, October 12, and continue through October 20. 

Over this period approximately 21,000 trout averaging 14 to 16 inches and weighing 1½ - 2 pounds will be distributed.  Additionally, 1,000 exceptionally large breeders, measuring 17-24 inches and weighing 3-8 pounds will be stocked. All trout are raised at the division's Pequest Trout Hatchery.

The stocking was postponed one week due to unseasonably high water temperatures. As anticipated, the cool weather pattern and recent rains significantly dropped water temperatures.  Stream temperatures which measured in the upper 60s to 70 degrees are now down to the upper 50s - ideal conditions for trout stocking.  The weather forecast looks favorable for anglers as well.

For more information on the fall stocking program, including the stocking schedule, visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/trtinfo_fall.htm on the division's website.

Good Info.    TT^
Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime.
