Thanks guys as I thought. Called a tackle shop in the area and they confirmed it is indeed closed. I passed there yesterday and there were six guys fishing the shoreline and a bass trackers fishing the cove, guess the word hasn't gotten out!

The new CO will get them. He was on the prowl last weekend. Pulled over 3 boats on 'Cong from the shoreline.

So I could fish aeroflex this weekend since its a holdover lake?

With my gas motor in need of some maintenance im looking at electric only lakes..so basically my choices are big swood or flex...stupid trout rules.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I have simply never understood why a weedy lake, five feet deep, is stocked with trout. Oh, gee, it must be that people like to sit it out before catfish get the leftover scraps.

And ever since chemical poison was used to control the water chestnuts, that cormorant population, which must have increased at the least 20-fold, since these dive-bombers can now swim openly, sure is having an absolute feast on the stockers.

I'm with Bruce. Putting trout in lake Musconetcong is just stupid, YET they won't put trout in Spruce Run with all the feeder streams, go figure.
