Nj trout fishing is the biggest bargain in NJ fishing.
With spring and fall allocations they stock approx 7 trout per trout stamp sold.

There isn’t anywhere you can buy 7 trout for 10.50.
Matter of fact if buying from a hatchery’s a 1.5 # fish costs that .

Also goes to show how bad some fisherman are, as many guys catch hundreds of trout a season . So there are many that skunk it up.

to have the nj river stocked for spring and fall for a 10.50 stamp,its the best
