This report is from 2004. Not sure how relevant it still is, but the then-current data would warrant a trip imo: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/wms/bfbm/do ... i085-1.pdf

it used to be stocked. It was the first stream that I took my daughters trout fishing. But that was around the same time as that 2004 report. It was quality water at the time.

I read that report. I was curious as you walk upstream what was there. It is listed as having reproducing browns and brookies. Not sure it is worth my time.

I used to fish it a couple of times a year way back in the early 2000's...was some browns in there with a mix of rainbows. not sure if the browns were wild as they stocked them back then. Seemed like a healthy creek back then. Have not thought of it in a long time...
