Having numerous options is one of the things that make NJ special (considering the salt water options as well).

The state also stocks the Musky, Black River, So. Branch and the Pequest, rivers that have posted sections where rod and gun clubs or lake communities own the water. This has been the case for quite awhile. No one is complaining about that, except me!
