Sparta NJ river/stream trout

No problem with spinning tackle. I use a light setup, typically 4 lb mono although 6 lb isnt too much either.

You should focus on the state stocked rivers, although up north you also have options of wild trout streams.

Personally prefer jigs for trout, be it with marabou or small plastics like curly tail grubs, but also smaller rapalas are a favorite of mine. Basically if it's marketed for crappie fishing it's also good with stocked trout.

Fish will initially be found around stocking points but as the season moves on and after high water events, trout can be found all over.
