Best spots in NJ to fish for trout
Dave Golden, director of the division, recommends Tuckahoe Lake in Cape May County for serious anglers, but his favorite place is Ponderlodge Pond located in the Villas in Lower Township, Cape May County. Both locations are great places to take the kids, he said.
Lisa Barno, assistant director of the division, said serious anglers will like Ken Lockwood Gorge between Califon and High Bridge in Hunterdon County and the Toms River in Ocean County. She prefers Ken Lockwood Gorge, because it s a beautiful stretch of river and there are plenty of wild fish to catch. She also recommends the South Branch of the Raritan River, downstream of Clinton at Hunts Mill Park. I spent many hours fishing there and it s close to home, so it s easy to sneak in an hour or two of fishing, she explained.
