http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/new...proposal18.htm
some interesting changes proposed including increasing the Musky size limit IMO the trout rules are getting way too complicated for the average angler to understand.... |

This one gets me... "Private Fishing Clubs Located On Publicly Stocked Waters May Fish During the Three-week Pre-Season Closure" So it's closed to everyone, even kids, unless you're part of a prestigious club? I'm not big into trout, but I know plenty of guys that get their kids into fishing by heading out opening day and nailing a few. Private clubs of advanced fishermen shouldn't be allowed to deplete the numbers before it opens up to the rest of the public. |

Adding 2 more miles of trout stocking on the Rahway river.

Interesting. They're really trying their best with brook trout it seems.
Wild Trout Stream changes: "To help reduce competition with more adaptive exotic trout species there is no minimum size limit for Brown and Rainbow Trout in these native trout waters" + Barbless hooks and only 1 treble. That note to just kill other trout species that swim with brook trout seems bold. Also they're going to stop stocking on Rockaway Creek S/Br- which was a stream that was in my interest until I noticed there's hardly any access to it. Funny how they removed the closure on the black river in Hacklebarney- they admitted that they dont even send game wardens out there because it's too far. (1/2 a mile via trial? Id walk that up via river if the fishing was good!) ------- So are these all going to be effective or are they simply proposed? |

Does anyone know what the last stocking point on the river was? |
Re: 2018 - 2019 Proposed Fish Code Changes
It's still confusing. Take the changes to the SBR for one. The Claremont section will now be a WTS and not a TCA. The WTS will be extended up to the Bartley-Drakestown Road access. That stretch will have no more stocking. The stretch above there will be a Wild Brook Trout sanctuary. You may keep any trout of any size as long as it is not a brook trout.
On the WTS on the SBR you will now be permitted 2 trout ( no brook trout) at 9" and not 1 at 15" The stream below Schooley's Mt.Rd. will be stocked as usual but you may not harvest any brook trout and only 2 brown trout at 12" may be included in your limit. As for the Rahway River......Will it get more trout? Will the stream branch coming out of Milton Lake be stocked too? Don't try to take in all of the changes. Just try to understand the changes that affect where and how you fish. |

I am a big fan of KISS (keep it simple stupid) Why not make statewide rules something like this: 9" Min for Rainbows, 6 fish daily creel limit 12" Min for Browns, max 2 fish of 6 fish daily creel limit Brookies C&R only TCA C&R only If the proposed regs go through FGW will have to produce a detailed map showing the limits and regs for each area. I would suggest a large insert in the digest. Or you could just join a private trout club and do whatever you like.... |
