The regulations are summarized and listed in two related tables (Freshwater Fishing Species Regulations and Freshwater Fishing Waterbody Regulations). The coded regulations attempt to capture the full set of New Jersey's waterbody- and species-specific freshwater fishing regulations as described in the state's 2022-2025 Fish Code (N.J.A.C. 7:25-6) and Freshwater Fishing Digest. The data also link to online PDFs detailing these regulations in an organized manner.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/de834ab850224517b11ac0fcddba1bf9_127engNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Bureau of GISPublicWaterbodies Waterbody Regulations Summary Table [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2025-11-24
