Re: Pre-season Trout
Ugly Stick is correct.
This is the response that I received from Paul Tarlowe at the Div. of Fish and Wildlife about pre-season trout fishing and fishing on in season stocking days with closed waters. If regulations indicate that a body of water is closed on a certain day, that is the way it is for the entire season regardless of whether the water is being stocked or not. Mr. Tarlowe wrote the following:
My understanding is that all pre-season and in-season closures still apply since
the regulations within the state Fish Code still apply and have not been
changed. So if a water is normally stocked, even if not this year, it is still
closed. If it is a water that isn't normally stocked but is this year, it
remains open but any trout caught must be re released immediately unharmed.
If you have questions please contact our law office at 908-735-8240. Thanks.
