Trout season starts Saturday April 9th. You will need a freshwater license and a trout stamp. The state is stocking lakes and streams across southern New Jersey. Birch Grove Park in Northfield and Hammonton Lake are a few of many places in which you can go to. There are 600,000 brook and rainbow trout released into Jersey waters. At Giampietro Park in Vineland State hatchery workers added at least 50 monster trout, 6-8 lb keepers. Best baits are mealworms, small minnows, mepps spinners, grubs, red wiggler trout worms, and even bread. Daily limit and minimum size depend on the lake or stream your fishing. Once again, this year Division Fish Game and Wildlife will be tagging more than 1000 Brook trout for release in New Jersey waters. If you are the lucky angler who lands one of these fish, send your name, address, fish tag number, and location to Pequest Trout Hatchery 605 Pequest Rd Oxford NJ 08788-3. Atten-hook a winner program.
