From the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife:

Due to the continued stretch of warm weather resulting in elevated water temperatures, the second week of fall trout stocking scheduled for the week of October 8 has been postponed.  Recent water temperature readings at lakes scheduled to be stocked have ranged into the mid to upper seventies.

The second week of stocking consists of 16 lakes located in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex, and Salem counties.  The stockings were originally scheduled for October 9 and 10.  Conditions will be re-evaluated at the end of next week and stocking will be re-scheduled as soon as conditions permit.  The fish can be retained at the Pequest Trout Hatchery for up to two weeks.

To view the stocking schedule, as well as any further changes which may occur, please visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/flstk07.htm on the NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife Web site.
