Re: Fall Trout Stocking schedule
Sad but TRUE
there are probably many ponds across NJ that get spring stockings with most fish succumbing to predators or hot water and die by July. Most never are caught by anglers targeting them. NJ Dave is correct that it is all about stocking where license are sold. I brought this issue up with AndyS last year at the annual trout stocking meeting and he mentioned as much. Stocking 400+ trout in a pond that is completely choked with weeds by June (a pond near me comes to mind), having only a handful caught seems like a waste. Not sure if any metrics are obtained on these type of stockings? A repeat in the fall of the same operation seems a waste.
