Yup.

On page 8:

"15-inch Size Limit for Landlocked
Atlantic Salmon for Trophy Trout Waters
The state’s two Trophy Trout Lakes were stocked
with both rainbow and brown trout until 2014
when Fish and Wildlife discontinued rearing and
stocking brown trout due to a disease at the Pequest
Trout Hatchery. Landlocked Salmon are closely
related to brown trout. The stocking of salmon
in one or both of the Trophy Trout Lakes fills a
void left from the discontinuation of brown trout
stocking, expanding recreational opportunities for
anglers interested in catching this novel sportfish.
In keeping with the “trophy trout” strategy for these
reservoirs, the 15-inch minimum size and daily
creel/possession limit of two in total for brown and
rainbow trout was expanded to include landlocked
Atlantic salmon."
