There are proposed changes to the NJ 2014-2015 Fish Code that would have a positive impact to the existing 4.2 mile fly fishing only stretch on the Flatbrook, which is open to all tackle for the first 9 days of the season, and then allows general kill regulations for the remainder of the system. The proposed Fish Code would change the entire 4.2 mile stretch to Catch and Release for trout and allow artificial lures only. The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife believes that the existing population of wild brook trout will have the chance to flourish, and that hold over stocked trout will be given the opportunity grow and adapt to the wild surroundings. Some of us have been working for this type of management on the Flatbrook for decades and we need your support.
NJ fly anglers please act! Also, to the anglers of our neighboring States, please remember that anglers of NJ have always been there to support and improve your fly fishing resources, so please help us out!
