Re: Ken Lockwood Gorge ?
It's not news that KLG is given a lot of attention by f&w. Gets lots of fish, CnR only, and special regs that in theory do less damage to fish.
Judge f&w all you want about stocking trout there, but it's no question that f&w's management of KLG is a huge success. The goal is to get angling attention and satisfy anglers, and KLG is probably the best example of doing that.
I say let f&w keep doing what they see is the best for these special regs areas as these areas are essentially trout-stamp selling points to NJ residents.
Yes you can argue other areas in NJ can use a hand from f&w for trout angling, but I dont think it's right to judge these Special Regulation areas while they're actually very successful at what what f&w intend them to be.
