The Hockhockson Brook


This is a picture of the upper headwaters
of the Hockhockson Brook in Monmouth County.
It probably held wild brook trout 10 years ago,
however unchecked development in the watershed
has destroyed the native brook trout population.

Still, it holds stocked fish over during good years
and provides decent fishing opportunities for
for those who live in the area.

BTW, I'll try to update the blog at least once
a week, sometimes more often. The focus
will be on both stripers and trout with an
emphasis on the coastal Monmouth County
region of New Jersey. Of course, as blogs go,
the subject may vary from time to time.
