No they dont make the preseason schedule public knowledge.

My father is a seasonal with the state and has been stocking for over 10 yrs, so I get the info right from the cat's meow.

I know he stocks the Musky usually in the preseason, so I know how they do it, since I know the guy throwing the fish in the water hehe..

He hasnt gotten the preseason schedule yet, he said prob by wed.

A progressive trout stocking program results in nearly 600,000 trout, raised at the Pequest Trout Hatchery, being stocked statewide each spring.

Looks like plenty to go around. Fish in May, streams are empty, everyone runs to the ocean for stripers and fluke !

May was nice last year but I had an even better June on the North Branch.
