Union County Trout

[Billfish715]

This was in the 2014 fishing proposals. Those of you who fish for trout in Echo Lake might want to take a look. Those of you who fish for carp in Nomahegan might have to move over for awhile. This is definitely a put and take fishery but Union County can use another trout access. It has to be better than Seely's Pond.

Nomahegan Park Pond (Union) - Nomahegan Park Pond is located within the 95 acre Nomahegan Park in Cranford. The pond is currently being dredged and is scheduled to be completed at the end of this year. 100% of the shoreline is accessible for fishing and offers excellent opportunities for local anglers. Although there are 11other trout stocked waterbodies within a ten mile radius the surrounding urban area results in high angler participation in nearby waters. Opening day angler counts at Lower Echo Park Pond, located only 1.2 miles away, demonstrates the high angler use in the area with 88 to 111 anglers on opening day.
