Fall trout stocking:

Fall trout stocking has become one of the most popular stocking programs offered by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife. Trout stocking will now begin Tuesday, October 14, 2025, and continue throughout the following week.
NJDEP Fish & Wildlife will stock a total of approximately 20,000 two-year-old Rainbow Trout, averaging 14-16 inches over a two-week period. In addition to these trout, up to 1,000 Broodstock trout (three-year-old rainbow trout, averaging 18-22 inches) are also stocked. Broodstock trout are mixed in with each truckload of fish.
All fall trout-stocked waters may be fished as soon as they are stocked (no “closed waters” during fall stocking).

NEVER a problem on the main stem Raritan river as we get all the water we need from Spruce Run and Round Valley. Last fall we had plenty of water yet NJF&G refuses to put trout in there. The trout seem better suited for Roosevelt Park pond in Edison that is literally choked with Ganesh idols.
