The Fall Trout Stocking Program
Fall trout-stocking, which has become one of the most popular stocking programs offered by Fish and Wildlife, will begin Tuesday, October 8, 2024, and continue throughout the following week.
New Jersey DEP Fish and Wildlife will stock a total of approximately 20,000 two-year old Rainbow Trout, averaging 14-16 inches over a two-week period. In addition to these trout, up to 1,000 Broodstock trout (three-year old rainbow trout, averaging 18-22 inches) are also stocked. Broodstock trout are mixed in with each truckload of fish. All fall-stocked waters may be fished as soon as they are stocked (no “closed waters” during fall stocking).
The limit is 4 fish, personally, I would like to see a 2 fish limit in the fall.
