Each spring, the pond is stocked with catchable rainbow trout thanks to a longstanding partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. Visitors to this park can enjoy fishing from the shore, their choice of three piers, or even wade into the shallow water. One of the most popular places to fish in Lake Metroparks is the 33-acre pond at Veterans Park. For many years, Lake Metroparks has maintained a robust fish stocking program for these lakes and ponds.
Not only can anglers enjoy fishing in the beautiful streams, they can also enjoy the serenity of fishing from as many as 13 different waterbodies found throughout the parks. The streams and rivers flowing through the parks are some of the most picturesque places to visit in the county and a real draw for anglers near and far. Visitors from all over northeastern Ohio come to Lake Metroparks for fishing opportunities. It's also a great place for family fishing." They also suggested Pohatcong Creek, because it's small, and has a concentrated pool where "it's easy to sight fish.By Tom Koritansky, Director of Park Operations Barno said "it's a great treasure and beautiful park with lots of amenities. Lisa Barno, who heads the division's "Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs" program, and Crouse said the best spot for trout fishing for children is Verona Park Pond in Essex County."It also is big enough to fly-fish easily and has areas of solitude." Ross Shramko, senior fisheries biologist also points to the Ken Lockwood Gorge for serious anglers but said his personal favorite is the South Branch of the Raritan River in the center of the state. "It has a wide variety of fishing opportunities, big browns, catch and release, and has lots of stocked fish available," he said."There is lots of water to discover, lots of wild fish, and it's stocked," is his reason. His personal favorite, however, is Pohatcong Creek in Warren County "It's also not too big, not too small, and a country road with few houses on it parallels the stream for miles." Shawn Crouse, the supervising fisheries biologist, recommends the South Branch of the Raritan River from Middle Valley to Long Valley."I spent many hours fishing there and it's close to home, so it's easy to sneak in an hour or two of fishing," she explained. She prefers Ken Lockwood Gorge, "because it's a beautiful stretch of river and there are plenty of wild fish to catch." She also recommends the South Branch of the Raritan River, downstream of Clinton at Hunts Mill Park. Lisa Barno, assistant director of the division, said serious anglers will like Ken Lockwood Gorge between Califon and High Bridge in Hunterdon County and the Toms River in Ocean County."Both locations are great places to take the kids," he said.
