New Jersey anglers who make time to get on the water this weekend may find true meaning in the saying, \”Saving the Best for Last\”. This is the last week of the spring trout stocking season but certainly not the last week of great spring trout fishing in New Jersey. In fact, the Memorial Day Weekend has the potential to be the best weekend of the spring season for several reasons.
Stocked waters are now teeming with trout. The Division\’s Pequest Trout Hatchery once again exceeded the spring production goal of 570,000 trout. The Hatchery produced and stocked 606,642 trout this spring and the more than 36,000 extra trout were added to stocking runs during the last several weeks of the season.
