According to the
NJDFW website, the Green Brook was stocked with 150 trout in the preseason, and another 150 trout today (4/15). Seely's Pond got 230 trout in the preseason and will get another 170 on Wednesday. If you fish at or not far from where they stock, you should do okay. The
publicly listed fishing spots are:

Seely's Pond will also be getting some of the big breeders:

I don't think these bodies of water get much trout-targeted fishing action. Reminds me of another stream, the Middle Brook in Martinsville, which will receive 450 trout this spring. If you ask me, the trout going into the Green Brook, Middle Brook, and Seely's Pond would be better off going into the Raritan River, which is lightly stocked (3,200 trout) in Duke Island Park and not stocked at all south of Rt. 206.

Agreed.
