From https://www.njfishandwildlife.com/flstk21.htm:
A total of approximately 21,000 two-year old Rainbow Trout, averaging 14-16 inches will be stocked in 17 streams and 19 ponds and lakes. All trout are raised at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and will be stocked from Tuesday, October 12 to Wednesday, October 20.
In addition to these trout, up to 1,000 broodstock trout (three-year old rainbow trout, averaging 18-22 inches) will also be stocked. Broodstock trout will be mixed in with each truckload of fish to provide exciting fishing opportunities throughout the state.
A schedule will not be posted prior to stocking. Waterbodies stocked will be noted below at the end of the day they are stocked. This is to prevent crowds gathering at popular stocking points, making social distancing difficult. All fall-stocked waters may be fished as soon as they are stocked (there are no "closed waters" during fall stocking).
