Re: Hooks Creek Lake
Hooks Creek Lake- Hooks Creek Lake in Cheesequake State Park did not fare as well.
Although salinity dropped from 11.8 ppt in January of 2013, to 9.6 ppt in June of 2013, it remained elevated at 3.8 ppt as of June 1, 2014. Species encountered during seining include Mummichog, Banded Killifish, Inland Silverside, White Perch, and Gizzard Shad.
In 2015, monitoring determined that Hooks Creek Lake salinity levels had dropped to 1.12 ppt., which allowed the stocking of Largemouth Bass, sunfish, Brown Bullheads, and Channel Catfish.
Rainbow Trout were stocked in the fall of 2015, spring & fall of 2016.
