As mentioned earlier you can stock young channel catfish in the pond if you would like an additional sportfish. They can be stocked up to 100 fingerlings per acre at the same time as the bass. Keep in mind that channel catfish do not spawn naturally in ponds, so in order to maintain a fishery you will have to restock at least every three to four years. If you decide to try trout you can stock rainbow, brook or brown trout. Brook trout and rainbow trout bite best, however brown trout can better withstand the conditions in a warm water pond.
Brook trout are the best bet in the acid waters of the state.
Start out by stocking trout about 10 inches or so in size in the spring and see if you can catch them year-round. In order for you to obtain the maximum amount of recreation from your trout you should try to harvest at least one half before the onset of hot weather. The number you stock is not very important, however 100 catchable per acre would be a good starting point. The New Jersey Fish and Game Code requires that a stocking permit from the Division of Fish Game and Wildlife is required for the stocking of any fish or fish eggs in all waters of the State, both public and private, which are contiguous with the ocean.
