Re: Trout Stocking Meeting Saturday, February 11
Hey Andy
I cannot make this but have another question for you to ask:
Why the hell are trout stocked in Spooky Brook Park pond in Somerset NJ?
While I caught a "Hook a Winner" trout there in 2008, this pond in not maintained and becomes completely choked with weeds by mid to late May. This has gotten progressively worse since that time.
By Early June I would guess that all trout the have been stocked there have either become a meal for a LMB or expired due to the extremely shallow water level there and the extensive weed problem that makes fishing there near impossible.
These trout should be channeled to more productive waters. I think they only put ~ 250 trout there, I would guess only a small percentage are actually caught before the weed problem there makes fishing impossible.
The Fish N Game Dept of NJ should investigate the stocking of similar unproductive waters and cancel these stockings where applicable.
