Default 2018 - 2019 Proposed Fish Code Changes

http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/new...proposal18.htm

some interesting changes proposed including increasing the Musky size limit

IMO the trout rules are getting way too complicated for the average angler to understand....

Big eels

This one gets me...

"Private Fishing Clubs Located On Publicly Stocked Waters May Fish During the Three-week Pre-Season Closure"

So it's closed to everyone, even kids, unless you're part of a prestigious club? I'm not big into trout, but I know plenty of guys that get their kids into fishing by heading out opening day and nailing a few. Private clubs of advanced fishermen shouldn't be allowed to deplete the numbers before it opens up to the rest of the public.

Adding 2 more miles of trout stocking on the Rahway river.

Finally they got something right! That puts them right in my backyard.

Does anyone know what the last stocking point on the river was?

Agreed, these proposed changes will make things a lot more convoluted. The bucket brigaders will have to start pairing up: one guy fishes, the other guy looks out for the CO!

Interesting. They're really trying their best with brook trout it seems.

Wild Trout Stream changes:
"To help reduce competition with more adaptive exotic trout species
there is no minimum size limit for Brown and Rainbow Trout in these native trout waters"

+ Barbless hooks and only 1 treble.

That note to just kill other trout species that swim with brook trout seems bold.

Also they're going to stop stocking on Rockaway Creek S/Br- which was a stream that was in my interest until I noticed there's hardly any access to it.

Funny how they removed the closure on the black river in Hacklebarney- they admitted that they dont even send game wardens out there because it's too far. (1/2 a mile via trial? Id walk that up via river if the fishing was good!)


-------

So are these all going to be effective or are they simply proposed?
