To me, if you’re stocking AND closing a lake, it should be well marked at the ramp at the very least
look, the rules are confusing...this particular rule makes very little sense and you're right it should be more obvious. some poachers probably ripped down the new signs so they could play dumb and try to avoid a ticket.

I got checked 4 times this year ice fishing at places that aren't very popular at all...but this very obvious place right now not getting patrolled??? really?

this happens literally EVERY SINGLE YEAR at musconetcong...EVERY YEAR.

why is it stocked, idk. why do they close it completely, idk. unfortunately, guys like you and others that want to actually follow the rules end up being the ones that get a ticket and the foreign guys with no license get away with a bucket full haha
