Division biologists will present information on the proposed policy regarding management of the furunculosis disease at the Pequest Trout Hatchery. Information on the proposal to alter spring trout stocking in order to protect the state's fisheries resources from the disease while providing quality fishing opportunities will also be presented.
This important meeting will have a comment period for anglers to ask questions, voice their opinions, and give suggestions regarding the proposed changes to the 2014 trout stocking program.
