New “Spot Burn” App From The NJ Division Of Fish & Wildlife

Looking for places to fish in the Garden State?  The New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife is here to help with their new Great Places to Fish interactive map at www.njfishandwildlife.com/fishplc.htm.

The Great Fishing Close To Home app will help in your search for nearby great fishing. It includes over 290 publicly accessible lakes, ponds and reservoirs picked by Division staff, from what you may catch, property ownership and other amenities on the property.

New Jersey offers more than 400 publicly accessible lakes, ponds and reservoirs. These waters offer a great diversity of fishing opportunities, from abundant populations of panfish to trophy-sized game fish. There are also miles of public streams and rivers.

The list of waters included in the app include those where a good population of desirable species are present. A number of them also provide access for people with a disabling condition. Clicking on the name will open a new window or tab with the Google Maps location of the water.

There are separate pages of access points on trout waters listed by county and alphabetically. Depth maps of many lakes are available on the Lake Survey Maps page.  Remember that a Boat Ramp Maintenance Permit is required at some WMA ramps and the Round Valley Angler Access. The requirement is satisfied by a fishing license displayed in a vehicle window.

License agents and local tackle shops can also help you find productive local fishing sites, not to mention a subscription to The Fisherman Magazine!
