Summer fish stocking:

[AndyS]

Throughout July the Hackettstown Hatchery will have tank trucks and boats out weekly stocking cool and warm water fish that hatched this spring. The crew float-stocked 12,930 4-inch hybrid striped bass in Spruce Run Reservoir and 7,180 in Manasquan Reservoir. They also stocked 16,000 4-inch walleye fingerlings on Greenwood Lake, Big Swartswood Lake, and Monksville Reservoir. These fingerlings are requested annually by the Division of Fish and Wildlife's fisheries biologists and over the past 10 years have created excellent fishing opportunities for New Jersey’s Anglers.
