Default Re: Skunked, and an Important Message

When I first started working for the NJDF&W, we had to salvage fish from the lower D&R canal in New Brunswick. They had partially dewatered it, in preparation for filling it in to build what is now Rt. 18. One of our guys, in waders, striding confidently down to the water’s edge, got sucked up to his waist in the muck. The construction workers, there, had to use a crane to pluck him out.

Lake Carsaljo is down for aquatic veg. control. Lowered in the fall, a hard winter with freezing temperatures, can knock back some of the veg. The lake is refilled starting 3/1 to insure it is back up for pickerel spawning. We encourage lake owners to not conduct such a lowering every winter, as it can wreck havoc with the fish pop. Carasaljo abides by that,……..lowering it every 2 or 3 years.
