Here is the language from the proposed legislation found on page 2 on the NJSP
website. Doesn't mention fishing at all.
"At the request of citizens who own property along the shores of Lake
Hopatcong, particularly in Byram Cove, and after consultation with
State Police Marine Services Bureau, the BRC proposes new N.J.A.C.
13:82-3.11(l) to prohibit certain activities on the lake between May 15
and September 15 of each year. These restrictions will alleviate
crowding and dangerous behavior during the height of the boating
season when the lake is most crowded. Specifically, the BRC proposes
to prohibit vessels from anchoring closer than 200 feet from the
shoreline. The BRC also proposes to prohibit the tethering of a raft or
tube more than 20 feet from an anchored vessel and prohibit more than
10 vessels from anchoring together (commonly known as rafting)"
