Attention kayakers and others with cartop watercraft!
Grab your rods and reels and prepare for a unique fishing opportunity at Split Rock Reservoir.
This week Hackettstown Hatchery staff stocked 52 four to five pound hybrid striped bass into Split Rock Reservoir.
One trophy specimen weighed over 8 pounds.
This is a one-time stocking opportunity resulting from the lowering of a hatchery production pond.
Split Rock Reservoir is a 625-acre impoundment located in Rockaway Twp. in Morris County.
Anglers are reminded that Split Rock Reservoir does not have a boat ramp and access is via portage from main parking area through a path to the waters.
Hybrid Striped Bass are also stocked in Spruce Run Reservoir, Lake Hopatcong and Manasquan Reservoir.
