NJ Comment Call on Big Flat Brook River

These new regulations will adopt “CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY, ARTIFICIAL LURES AND FLIES ONLY” on a 4.2 mile section of the Big Flat Brook River as well as the continuing trout protection within the Ken Lockwood Gorge Trout Conservation Area section of the South Branch of the Raritan River by making this “CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY.”

The proposed amendments were published in the September 16, 2013 New Jersey Register which has initiated the sixty day public comment period. The comment period is open to November 15, 2013.
