DIVISION TO STOCK MORE THAN 50,000
TROUT IN OCTOBER
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division
of Fish and Wildlife will stock more than 50,000 trout in the State's
major trout waters October 7-24, 2002.
"The fish being distributed are from the Pequest Trout Hatchery,
one of the most modern facilities in the nation," said Division Director
Bob McDowell. "The trout are in excellent condition and should add some
exciting possibilities for anglers this autumn."
"The Division will carefully monitor water conditions and make
stocking decisions on a daily basis," said Hatchery Superintendent Jeff
Matthews. "If drought conditions warrant altering the original stocking
plan, changes will be publicized on the Division's website and through
the media."
Standard production trout (approximately 9-11 inches and weighing
up to ½ pound each) will be stocked in the following waters. The number
of breeders slated for distribution during the second and third weeks of
the stocking schedule will depend on the timing and success of the
hatchery's trout spawning operation as well as water conditions in the
intended stocking locations. These fish will not be stocked until
annual trout egg requirements are met.
