Re: Trout season opening April 1st
The trout program, which has always been a bit of a political ping pong match, has once again taken a front row seat, as more elected and appointed officials look to get in front of the microphones and cameras. This time it's the DEC commissioner and not Fish and Wildlife making the call, and the DEC did a very bad job.
The announcement came from the DEC. while The Division of F&W is in charge of the implementation of the trout program, they are a subsidiary of The DEC which takes its lead from the governor.
To both the DEC commissioner and Governor Murphy..........I'm going catch and release trout fishing to a stream that is NOT near my home. If you can find your fishing rods and have your licenses, you are welcomed to join me.
