NJF Meet and Greet Feb.16 Pequest Trout Hatchery:

[AndyS]

OR..... if you see something you DO like come and let them know. You have no idea how hard these people work to satisfy you until you go to one of these meetings.

1.) Why are they still gill netting lake trout in Round Valley, I thought it was a done deal ?

2.) If the State of NJ put the lake trout in Merrill Creek Res why do they use an independent company to do the gill net survey?

3.) Why do the Newark Watersheds get stocked with trout ?

4.) Any changes in the Land locked stocking and how is the program doing ?

5.) Why won't you stock trout below the Rt. 206 bridge on the Raritan river ?

6.) If surplus trout don't HAVE to be stocked into Trout Maintenance water, then why do 15,000 go into the Manasquan annually ?

7.) If very careful consideration goes into how many trout can be stocked in a certain amount of water, then how can an independent fly shop and others dump 100's of trout in a 2 mile stretch of river ?

Just a few for now, I'm sure I'll have more later.

That last one strikes a nerve!! # 7- They may totally ruin native poulations

My guess is they can do it because of the rite amount of money going in the rite pockets,,,any thoughts
on how they are allowed to stock these MONSTERS??
