Just a sample of what is going on............

Staff will be receiving land locked salmon from Massachusetts this week, and will exchange them for northern pike fingerlings. The salmon will be held at the Hackettstown Hatchery to grow, and will be distributed this fall.

At the Hackettstown Hatchery, three of the four buildings are now filled. The last of the musky fish are hatching, and Chief Barno described a different methodology that is being tried with them this year.

Staff from the Research and Management Section are working on the Delaware River at the mouth of the Musconectcong River to look for androgynous species using electro-fishing methods. None have been
reported so far.

Trap nets have been set at Oxford Furnace. Carnegie Lake and Mountain Lake will follow. Staff is doing preliminary work and will be looking for population and growth estimates for muskellunge and a working on the stocking program for walleye.

Angler log books have been distributed for the Flatbrook and the South Branch of the Raritan.

Chief Barno reported that Lake Hopatcong is scheduled for a five foot draw down this fall, which has been creating much back and forth discussion with the citizen’s advisory committee.

Principal Biologist Ivany reported for the Information and Education Section. Fishing license sales have made a strong comeback, and he distributed information on same.

Or go there (where ever there is) and get your 3 minutes of fame and voice your opinion

Trout are a bit androgynous, even the males are all pretty and sparklely.

I think they meant Carnegie Lake for Muskies. I guess if it works at Mercer it would work there. Weren't Tigers put in there awhile back?
