I don't know if any of you other guys subscribe to American Angler, but in the latest issue they did a short article on Southern brook charr (trout). As a side column they make mention of NJpatbee's work identifying the native NJ brook charr (trout). Kudos to Pat. Thanks for all your hard work. What's next? How can we all help you? Are we looking for state or federal protection? Can the NJ strain be reproduced in the state's hatcheries and we get rid of the non-native brookies? Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the efforts they are making in the Appalachian states to preserve their natives. Thanks again Pat. |
