Draw a circle on a map with your house in the center out to a distance you want to travel then get out in your car and explore. You won't be disappointed with what you'll find.

Route 80 will take you to western N.J. trout waters and the Delaware. 206 south will take you to the Black River, South Branch and North Branch as well as many small brooks and streams. You're in a great area. Get out and see if any place interests you. Now is a good time to look. Find the trout stocking signs and with the foliage off the trees, you can see more of the streams and ponds and lakes. Bring along your trout rod and whatever baits or lures you like to use. There are still trout to catch. Shake off your cabin fever, go for a ride and give it a try.

So looking at the map and new trout regulations, looks like artificial only, 3 hook points, no barbs etc, for the entire length north of lake solitude? I assume even though these new regulations are “trout” regulations they apply to any fishing done here, even for larger species?
