Trout Season officially opens in New Jersey on Saturday, April 11th at 8am and we couldn’t be more excited! Fishing is a great activity that you can do in solitude or with your family and it will allow you to explore some beautiful areas in Nature that you may not see otherwise. As seasoned fishermen, we sat down to think about what equipment new anglers would need in order to get out on the water. Below, please find a list of items that we think are the most important…and a few other optional items that we like to have on hand. Happy Trout Season!
