Stocking

Post by robtf » Wed Nov 19, 2025 2:09 pm

Given the state official position of never stocking/rearing Brookies, is there any hope of changing this by petition or by getting Brookies stocked from somewhere else?

I know it’s probably hopeless, but I’m a bit pissed as I’ve heard through the FB grapevine that this is simply a money play.

Thoughts anyone?

stock brooks, stock browns, stock all arounds.....or don't. NJ has opted for don't and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon.

Appreciate what you have, there may come a day when you don't :)

I would not vote for Stocking Brookies, why mess with a native species. I would like to see brown trout stocked in waters that do not have a native population of Brookies.
