Did well with perch last week at Hopatcong, this weekend with the drop in water temperatures from run off the bite slowed considerably. Females still tight with eggs so some warm weather and the best should still be ahead.

Question for the board, wanted to give Lake Musconetcong a shot later this week. Is Musconetcong closed to all fishing until the trout opener or like Hopatcong can it be fished as long as trout are released. Appreciate anyone's insight, tried reading the regs and wasn't clear althoug it sounds like it's closed.
