I just hope that before the ink dries on the official release that they address the lakes that are closed due to pre-season stocking. In effect they will be adding weeks to the closure according to the digest and this new early closure date. This is prime time for ice out fishing for other species. Think about Little Swartswood and Lake Musconetcong. They need to address this and should consider April 1 as opening or just drop them from the closed lakes list.
