Interesting meeting. Great presentations from the F&W team. Biggest topic was LL salmon. Not a whole lot of complaints compared to last year although one individual made a good point about how walleye stockings could be focused a bit more southern, such as in Spruce Run. The suggestion didnt seem to get much traction as Spruce Run already is heavily stocked with other predatory species. Im definitely for the idea of some walleye stockings more south.

Also a hint that pike may be discontinued from the Millstone; they only found 1 pike in the millstone survey, and low angler reports contribute to the idea.

F&G seem focused on shad in the raritan and will prefer not stocking predatory species there.

Rinehart brook presentation was great too. Numbers showing great progress by brook trout. And maybe this year we will see some of the natural barriers in the creek be aided, perhaps by making the bottom of these barriers shallower.
No one complained about the program and most people were interested, and F&g suggested they'll keep the program to rinehart brook for now, since it's new and they'd like to see the results long term.
