Interesting. They're really trying their best with brook trout it seems.

Wild Trout Stream changes:
"To help reduce competition with more adaptive exotic trout species
there is no minimum size limit for Brown and Rainbow Trout in these native trout waters"

+ Barbless hooks and only 1 treble.

That note to just kill other trout species that swim with brook trout seems bold.

Also they're going to stop stocking on Rockaway Creek S/Br- which was a stream that was in my interest until I noticed there's hardly any access to it.

Funny how they removed the closure on the black river in Hacklebarney- they admitted that they dont even send game wardens out there because it's too far. (1/2 a mile via trial? Id walk that up via river if the fishing was good!)

So are these all going to be effective or are they simply proposed?
