Trout Reccomendations

[Hookmanski]

Hey all! This is my first thread, glad to be a part of the site. I'm from Hunterdon county so there are plenty of local trout fisheries that are near me, but I'm looking to expand my horizons this year and find some new places to fish. Any recommendations are appreciated!

If you want to try the Rockaway let me know I can show you the river that I fish pretty much everyday during trout season.

Spring lake would be my #1... granted it's not you traditional trout stream with the waders and all but the amount and quality of trout in there is the best I've fished... not only is it state stocked by the shark river surf club stocks the lake with some monster trout every year for the kids on opening day..

the musconetcong river and the pequest are my go to rivers. i've fished the musky from lake hopatcong all the way to the delaware; lots of good access. also if you don't mind the drive the big flat brook and paulinskill are good too just a little further north. i would do a little on-line research to figure out and scout out access points and then hit the road. good luck

You have some of the best and heaviest stocked trout streams right in your backyard. It would take a very long time to Fish them all. Your not going to find anything better by leaving. If you really want to try another area I would recommend the pequest. It's not far from you either.

You are not wrong! I love fishing up here, especially having the creek only a 3 minute walk away. I mostly wanted to get out and explore more parts of our beautiful state! I will definitely try the pequest. Thanks for all the responses guys, tight lines!
