To me thats absolutely criminal. bob

The lake is a PUBLIC WATERBODY......with private landownership. It is stocked with fishing license fees derived from NY State and the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. If you look in the NJ Fish Code it clearly states, "Fishing Permitted 24 hours".......at this point this only alludes to those that live on the lake (private homeowners) and those customers of the marinas paying for slip space. You are correct.....all 1950 acres are in private hands.
