Not on the 2026 stocking list: the state lists it for its wild trout. Source: NJDEP Fish & Wildlife, 2026 Spring Trout Allocations, checked Oct 12, 2026.
The 2026 Digest lists no special regulation for this stream, so the statewide trout rules apply: season dates, daily limits and minimum sizes.

The nearest USGS gauge is on another water, 4.6 km away: Lamington (Black) River near Pottersville, NJ. Its reading is a hint for the area, not this stream's own flow.

Check before you fish. Access, stocking and rules come from New Jersey's own data and can be out of date. Posted signs and landowners' wishes come first, and private land needs permission. You need a valid fishing license.
