Freshwater Fisheries Forum Feb. 22 at Batsto Village

[AndyS]

Would you like to provide input about freshwater fishing in New Jersey? The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife will hold its next freshwater fisheries public forum on Saturday, February 22, at Batsto Village in Wharton State Forest in Burlington County. The forum will begin at 10:00 a.m.

This year's topics will include an update of the Furunculosis disease outbreak at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and results from 2013 field sampling.

Anglers are invited to ask questions and comment on any aspect of the division's fisheries management programs with Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries biologists. By providing input, the public can help guide the development of freshwater programs and the regulations which govern them.
