Fish Rescued in Wanaque River Below Greenwood Lake
« on: April 19, 2010, 02:08:34 PM »
NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) staff and volunteers from NJ Muskies Inc. Chapter 22 and the DFW's Wildlife Conservation Corps rescued 240 large game fish from the Wanaque River and returned them safely to Greenwood Lake on April 16.  The fish had washed over the lake's dam during the spring's high water events.

A Star Ledger video at http://videos.nj.com/star-ledger/2010/04/fish_rescue_at_greenwood_lake.html  shows the rescue operation and the truly impressive fish. A total of 234 walleyes weighing four pounds to ten pounds, and six muskies measuring 35 inches to 42 inches were netted, transported and then released back into Greenwood Lake.

Similar rescues have taken place at Greenwood Lake and elsewhere in 2005 and 2007.  For details on this year's rescue operation, as well as links to accounts of the previous rescues, visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2010/wanaque_rescue.htm on the division's website.

Information on walleye and musky spawning, rearing and stocking by the DFW's Hackettstown Hatchery can be viewed at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/hacktown.htm#articles .

My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!
