So the wife just called me. Just got home from walking the dog at Ramapo reservation. Asked when I am bringing her home some trout. Told her the rivers are closed for the next two weeks and we can't fish until then.
She went on to say they were two guys in the river under the foot bridge fishing and from what she could see one of them had a stringer with fish on it.
WTF, who is enforcing the rivers?

Give fish and game a call. I was fishing a spillway off of route 23, and saw two fish and game officers out checking licenses and for fish...

New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Conservation Police.

There aren't nearly enough of them to be there when you see something, so help them to help the fisheries and environment. If you see something, call them and let them know. If it is serious, they may dispatch local law enforcement if they are not nearby.

Not actually seeing it myself I can not say that they were trout that were caught but non the less it is still a closed body of trout stocked water.

I saw a F&G sign a few yrs ago that advised to call the 877-warn-dep or 877-927-6337, in the event you see cheaters on the streams..I saved it to my cell phone that day...I have used it a few times to let them know and they got someone on the scene within a half hour...Might have just been lucky ,where there happen to have an officer near by...

The few times i called it was always in somerset county and i think the game wardens or park rangers have an office on rt. 31 north in clinton...That may have had something to do with there speedy arrival, but don't hesitate to call... We all follow the rules so why should'nt everybody else?? There are signs everywhere, so i would imagine the only way out of it would be foreigners pleading," no englas"...

Saved it in my phone as " Fish Cheat":p
