curious to know how surprise lake, in the watchung reservation, is doing after being refilled.

Mountain Lakes and Community Park Pond in Princeton
Grovers Mill Pond and Plainsboro Pond in West Windsor/Plainsboro

Interesting in that report that no pike were found in Farrington.

not sure if they've reintroduced fish yet, if not I'm curious about what species and when?

Did you ever get results on Veteran's Park Pond in Hazlet? Just curious because I moved to the area.

I visited Veterans Park a lot to tune my reels after a rebuild/ before an outing and in fall of 17 saw the NJ FW warm water stockings sigh indecating the water body has been stocked.
I’ve caught loads of blue gill but have not see or heard of any bass crappie or catfish yet.

Should at least be catfish too then..thanks

I remember a seining crew was sent there. If the stocking signs are up NJDF&W stocked largemouth bass, sunfish & probably brown bullheads.

After 40 years, 8 months I retired from NJDF&W on 9/1/18. It was a great job!

If you need to contact the division with a question, email:
njfishandwildlife@dep.nj.gov

Only landed a 20" Laker & a 15" Rainbow from RVR's eastern shore this winter. Recently, been getting skunked. Hoping these cold temps will change my luck.
