Packanack lake has largemouth bass, white perch, bluegill, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead, and common carp. White perch and the sunfish are the most common species.

A NJF&W stocking truck will be on site to obtain some fish for the Hackettstown Hatchery. The remainder (carp will be destroyed) will be stocked in the Pompton River.
Thanks for the update, Mark. So no truth to there being Pike and/or Hybrid Striped Bass in there I guess?
