Re: Are comprants destroying lake fishing for trout?
Thoughts for both discussions
- NJ trout fishing is a put and take fishery, always has, always will be. There are very few places that will support holdover trout and almost none that support natives. Stocking provides recreation and needed money for F&G.
Speaking selfishly for myself now, I am disabled and the only opportunity I have to fish for trout other than traveling and hiring a drift boat is to go to a pond with my wheelchair.
I think cormorants can have an effect on a small pond that gets stocked with "cormorant candy". In NY they now run boats offshore to stock in lake Ontario to avoid the cormorants.
