Yet another 90,000 trout to be euthanized....

Quote:

“In the end of March raceway C (brook trout) tested positive for furunculosis. C was one of only two raceways that had never tested positive and the trout were slated for waters with, or connected to resident trout populations. The outbreak resulted in several lakes being stocked pre-season only, and further reductions in stocking on 11 of the 16 waters with in-season closures as the number of negative trout were reduced by half. The raceway was treated and recently retested. Unfortunately, the raceway despite treatment tested positive once again yesterday. After discussion with Jan, who feels further treatment would yield similar results, the Division is opting to destroy the 90,000 brook trout in the raceway.

Say goodbye to trout stocking for a few years.. The division has a huge problem on their hands...I heard that once a hatchery has this disease, they cannot get rid of it....

Wasn't this info already provided before opening day leading to changes in numbers stocked for the Passaic river, Rahway river, farrington lake and a number of other locations?

Start stocking more smallmouth, walleye and pike.

I understand the states doing by not wanting to further spread the disease but i don't understand why they just don't dump the sick fish in an already polluted river.
114 + 90 thousand is a lot of fish.
Could have put em in the passaic, not told anyone and in a few years had a trophy trout river I'd the pike dont eat em.

Yes it was but fingers were crossed that no more trout tested positive.. It just goes to show how aggressive this disease is...

SMALLIES, SMALLIES and maybe some more SMALLIES, then walleye and pike. Hell lets bring in Taiman too! Should have thrown those sick trout in lower Raritan so I could have had something to do possibly in December instead of goin to Pooohlaski. In all serious I am actually intrigued to see what trout fishing will be like in TP waters and a few lakes. This could be great for some and devastating for others.
