Trout season officially opened in New Jersey on Saturday April 10,2010 at 8:00 AM. The Department of Environmental Protection predicts that this should be the best season ever in New Jersey for trout fishing. Enhanced and aggressive stocking programs along with the continued production at the state trout hatcheries in addition to the new fishing sites through out New Jersey, promise to make this the best season yet for all you anglers out there waiting to get into the streams and brooks of New Jersey.
With all the snow and cold weather we had in New Jersey this past winter, water levels should be above normal levels. So, with that said, we encourage all anglers to get out there on opening day and cast your line. We know you have all been waiting for this long, cold and snow covered winter to be over so you could get out there and enjoy the fresh air and hear the sounds of the streams and brooks along with the other sounds of wildlife that Mother Nature has to offer. Just a reminder though, do not forget to purchase your fishing license along with a trout stamp. Fishing licenses must be worn in a conspicuous place on the outer clothing while engaged in fishing, and must be exhibited to law enforcement personnel on request.
The New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Commission plans on stocking the streams and brooks as well as 70 lakes with over 500,000 brown, brook and rainbow trout this season. This brings the total number of public accessible waterways where you may fish at over 200. All the trout that are stocked into the waterways will be 14 and 19 inches in length and weigh between 3 and 5 pounds.
Do not forget to check out all your fishing gear before you get out to your favorite spot. Most knives will get dull over the course of a season. That is why we recommend the Silver Creek Fillet Knife. You need a knife that is safe, reliable and durable. This medium sized fillet knife has a titanium coated blade and is designed for added flexibility and corrosion resistance, a rubberized anti-slip grip and a stainless steel safety guard.
We feel this is the perfect knife for cleaning your catch on the spot.
So, good luck to all of you anglers out there and remember to be safe and help keep our environment clean. Just another reminder not to forget to purchase your fishing license with trout stamp now.
