Re: From NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife:
I personally have not fished for trout at all yet, opening weekend I was called away to the salt and from reading the reports I am somewhat happy about that. With the rivers and streams in the condition they are in right now I have not even bothered although I have had the opportunity.
Usually the stockies are pretty reliable but you have to remember trout are a very tricky and finicky fish..even the stockies. the smallest change could turn them off...water a bit too high or too muddy/dirty/murky, a change in water temperature by a degree or two, weather patterns, and on and on and on...and from my personal experiences these changes affect both stocked and wild fish for the most part...soo although trout fishing might not be red hot right now..keep in mind the general poor conditions at the moment...give it time
