Trout Stocking

I got an email last night with Jim Stabile's recent Daily Record column pasted into it, reporting on the Pequest Open House at the hatchery scheduled for this weekend, and then came home from work to an email from the Department of Environmental Protection announcing its cancelation due to the impending snowstorm. June 2nd now. Last year, it was cancelled until June 4th. I took my son to the hatchery when he was a young boy, and the memory remains a very good one. I also introduced him to largemouth bass guarding beds, acts of wild reproduction, at an early age.

A large portion--184,140--of the coming season's 570,150 projected trout total (more will likely make it)--are poised to get stocked. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

An earlier column of Stabile's, also pasted into the email, reports on a number of things. The most interesting to me claims New Jersey's coyote population is about 4000. Love those animals. But they can get vicious and I don't like that.

Here's the link to the article with trout information.
