Legal Trout Fishing

[bigfishy]

It's usually closed three weeks prior to opening day....
And PA has the option for a three yr licence with zero discount.....although its convenient as you wont have to remember to git it every yr

there's a bit of a discount. For example 5 one-year non-resident licenses is 264$ + the 5 individual purchase fees (which is like $2 every year), while the multi 5-year non-resident is 256$

trout stamp, 5 individual year stamps is $50 and the multi 5 year is 41$

For a ~300$ purchase for a 5 year commitment, you are only discounted around 30$.

I just got the individual year since im not sure if id end up fishing it that often.

I am buying my NJ and PA licenses today. So, three weeks before opening day is no fish for trout zone. I am getting my equipment in order now and hope to get out a few times before the cut off.

Good luck, anywhere fall stocked last year should still hold plenty trout. I think this week should be nice with warmer temps.

Don't forget some of the lakes remain open all year to trout fishing also such as Round Valley. Best advice I can give is pick up a New Jersey Fishing Digest
(this is 2019 cover) and read it front to back as many times as you can.

U make a good point that there's hardly a discount. Should be a better offer for a non-resident of PA to commit to 5 years
