Looking for a pond to take the Boyscout on a trip. I know there use to be one around Englishtown, where whatever you kept you pay by the pound. These boys are only 6-8yrs old. Any suggestions?

molders preserve i took our cub pack their they will all catch fish if you fish the pond with trout they must be kept and you pay by the pond we caught loads of channell cats use live shinners on a floating jig head fished on the bottom and they rent poles for those that dont have one and you dont need a fishing license http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/pdf/2007/digfsh30-36.pdf

You can save yourself and your den/pack by fishing in any of the free places throughout the state. More than likely, if you ask around at the tackle shops by you you'd even possibly find someone to guide you right to a good spot.

Is a fish education pond you can not keep any fish and it has to be done in conjuction with the State you can not just walk in and go fishing if I am correct

no u gotta contact the pequest hatchery. even if u cant fish the pond maybe u can still take the scouts there to show them the hatchery, i cant tell u how many times i took a tour of that hatchery when i was younger between scouts and elementary school lol

If you don't mind taking a ride go to Allamuchy Scout Reservation in Stanhope. Call up there and ask to fish the BACK pond. That is the cub Camp side of the reservation and is not highly fished but is very open, not overgrown. I take my scouts up there for there fishing merit badge each year.

That place in Englishtown is pretty cool. Me and my buddy took his son there last year and it was fun. If they're all under 16 you can take them anywhere that fishing is allowed and they dont need a licence.
