There are existing Trout waters that connect to the Passaic above the Great Falls, but none that connect below the Great Falls...which is why they picked this area. Nothing for Two Bridges but the usual Pike and Channel Cat stockings.

Honestly stocking trout in that section of the Passaic is essentially useless. For one its pike candy and secondly who's going to eat one if they catch a trout in that area because I certainly will not. Also does this keen now I cant fish that section of river during those 4 weeks because its "trout stocked waters "? One thing I do know for sure though is ill be purchasing a few big trout patterned jerkbaits.
