No clues, somebody must have been aware of even a remote possibility of this occuring, & in this case having disastrous effects on trout fishing.
Lots of ?'s , probably never get to the bottom of the issue , my opinion somebody / bodies dropped the dam ball !!

I really don't think anyone dropped the ball. The employees up at Pequest take the raising of fish in the highest of regards. Brook and Brown trout are very delicate / sensitive fish to raise. I have been involved with the stocking programs for over 20 yrs. Personally, I think the track records speaks for itself.
This last time I remember an issue at the hatchery was when I was 12 yrs old. I am now 36.
A collaborative effort of volunteers, staff, Master's Degrees & PHD's spending effortless amounts of time to keep this program running so that the residence of NJ can enjoy fishing throughout the yr. (Year after year)
Support your local fishery!!!!
Trout stamps so on and so forth.. 10$ a yr.. That's almost a pack of cigarettes. You should get a stamp even if you don't catch trout. So future generations can enjoy a past-time we take for granted.
