Lightbulb Re: Trout Stocking Update

10/4/16 - The following waters are affected by low flow conditions:

S/Br. Raritan River (upstream of Rt. 513 / Rt. 517 Bridge in Long Valley): The fish allocated for this area will be stocked in the South Branch of the Raritan River between Long Valley and the Red Mill Dam in Clinton Township.

Black River: Flow in the Black River is so low that trout will not be stocked anywhere in the river. These fish will be stocked in the South Branch of the Raritan River between the Red Mill Dam in Clinton Township and the confluence with the North Branch of the Raritan River.

Wallkill River: No fish will be stocked upstream of West Mountain Rd bridge. These fish will be spread out throughout the rest of the Wallkill River.

Big Flatbrook (upstream of Rt. 206): Flows in this section of the Big Flatbrook are too low for trout stocking. The fish allocated in this section will be distributed downstream of Rt. 206 throughout the rest of the trout stocking locations.
All other streams will be stocked where conditions allow. Drivers of stocking trucks will determine if conditions at each stocking point will allow the location to receive its full allotment, fewer trout than the allotment calls for, or no trout at all. The driver shall use his/her discretion and may stock sparingly. The allocated trout that cannot be stocked at a particular location will be stocked at other stocking points throughout the same stream where feasible.
