Knowing the freshwater fishing regulations is now easier than ever!
NJDEP Fish & Wildlife's new Freshwater Fishing Regulations application provides location-specific regulations for all freshwater waterbodies in New Jersey. Simply select a waterbody on the map and a pop-up will display the regulations—including specific waterbody regulations and species harvest regulations.
The app also includes the boundary of the Brook Trout Conservation Zone and fishing license boundary points.
Looking for trout stocked waters? The Trout Stocked Waters of NJ app provides the stocking dates and number of trout stocked during the spring trout stocking program. Clicking on a water feature within the map will pull up the stocking schedule, the number of fish to be stocked and closures.
Find your new favorite fishing spot using the Great Fishing Close to Home in NJ app. This application includes over 290 publicly accessible lakes, ponds and reservoirs picked by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife staff as good places to fish in the state. All have sizable populations of desirable species, and several provide access for people with disabling conditions. For each waterbody, information includes a list of the primary sportfish species present, ownership, whether a permit is required and outboard motors are permitted, and if there are other amenities such as boat ramps, swimming areas, picnic areas, and camping.
