Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
Lake Musconetcong gets ~2k trout, all before the end of April. When summer temperatures roll around, any trout not caught, killed by cormorants or eaten by predators will be dead anyway. Diamond Mill in Millburn, which is about the size of an Olympic swimming pool, gets ~$1k which is even more absurd. Branch Brook Park in Newark, which is a cesspool and war zone, gets ~2k. It's part of the catch and release nature of the stocking program to please the public. I pity the trout that end up being released in waters like these, it's a death sentence. Don't think putting a few musky in LM changes the fate of trout one bit, carp maybe, but not trout.
