I heard the watershed is closing tomorrow 8/5 has anyone else heard this?

If that is true, iI want a refund on the 10,000 walleye that went into Canistear.

YEA that would be F'ed up if they let the state stock those fish along with any others this year and then closed it to fishing!
SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY TO ME!!!!!!

[AndyS]

I think it is INSANE to put 10,000 of ANYTHING in one lake.

can anyone confirm this? That would really suck. I actually heard rumors about this 2 weeks ago but wasn't sure how true it was. Hopefully this isn't the case

[buzzbaiter]

terror threat? please report any suspicious lure packages left unattended...

[The Birdman]

NO WAY. I will be very upset if they close it.

i just killed it there this past week! i fish there twice a week.

My dad was up there today and was told it was closing tomorrow. I pray it's not true!!

I'll call my friend Rich this morning and find out and hopefully get to the bottom of this.......I really hope it's not true....was there on Saturday morning in the rain, caught a few walleye and bass , and didn't see any signs of closing....No chains,stantions,warning signs...nothing out of the ordinary.......been hearing this for a while now.....I actually heard from a very reliable source that next year all fishing , hunting, and camping priveledges were going to be taken away as the city of Newark was selling the properties and the new owners, whoever they are, didn't want the responsibilities and liabilities....If this is true, we have to petition the state and show our support for these properties....I'm not really sure how to go about this besides writing or calling Fish and game....any suggestions?.....Hold off until i try to get answers......Look for a new post within a few hrs.....Have a great day!

the last time that i was at the NWCDC offices a few weeks ago, they said that all the rumors were just that, rumors. there will still be fishing, hunting, hiking, etc. they were even going to keep the same workers. it is just getting a new name so that the city could move money around a bit differently. but otherwise status quo.

granted, that was a few weeks ago, but i can't imagine very much changing in that short of a time period. plus like iceehot said, there were no signs of an imminent closure over the weekend.
