NJF&G hypocritical trout regulations...

[NJSquatch]

pardon the pun but there is something FiSHY with some of these proposed regulations and this process

1. F&G is proposing regulations that they themselves have concluded there is little scientific evidence to support.

2.The digest article references a 2016 online survey for which I can't find the results. They state percentage of respondents. Is this based on 100 people or 10,000?

3. There is a provision that allows private fishing clubs to fish publicly stocked rivers on their private club property when the season is closed for the rest of us.

4.The public meeting location (Assunpink WMA) for these proposed regulations was held no where near the area of the state they are going to affect.

I appreciate the fishing diversity and opportunities that F&G give to NJ anglers but this has my spidey senses going nuts. I can't help but speculate that some of this is a hidden agenda from a well connected group.
