2022 Stocking Report

[Jigman13]

NJ is definitely very good at raising and stocking fish. It's worth the cost of a NJ state fishing license. I purchase the trout stamp too and I don't fish for trout anymore... I just feel it's a good, small way to support a great hatchery system.

A resident senior (which I am) fishing license in NJ with Trout stamp costs $22.50.
I spend more than that in one trip for gas and food.
License is the least expensive item when fishing, comes out to 6 cents a day.

When I see people fishing with no displayed license I figure there just cheap
A - holes or poor.
While I wish there where Brown trout stocked in NJ I think they (DEP) do a damn good job.
