NJF&G hypocritical trout regulations...

[thmyorke1]

"There was a lot of discussions around barbless hooks which were put forth by angler's demands and not by science"

As a new angler, my respect for NJ F+G continues to lessen.

The fact that they had a majority of comments against the regulation and chose to ignore them let's me know that they just don't care about what anglers have to say.

Hopefully F+G enact more rules in the future that make a better difference, like improving water quality, if they're actually worried about their trout populations.

When do the new rules get posted officially?
