How are the land locked doing in the other NJ water ways? Are they able to breed in lakes, or do they need streams to run up?
Re: Round Valley Trout Association meeting 2/21/19:
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has officially certified, and is pleased to announce, the catch of a new state record freshwater fish. The fish, a Landlocked Salmon, replaced a record which stood for 67 years and is the first record salmon since stocking began in 2006.
Runelvy Rodriguez of Northvale, New Jersey, reeled in the record Landlocked Salmon on June 2, 2018. The fish weighed in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces, eclipsing the previous state record set in 1951: John Mount's 8 pound fish from Lake Aeroflex when it was known as New Wawayanda Lake.
The fish measured 25.75" in length and had a girth of 15". Runelvy was fishing off a boat on Lake Aeroflex when she reeled in the fish. The fish hit while Runelvy was trolling. She was using an Okuma rod and reel. A spoon served as the lure.

True, but that fishery is meant as a put and take fishery.

Re: Round Valley Trout Association meeting 2/21/19:
The whole put and take fishery is just sad honestly. We all saw how the fish can grow but why have to kill everything hence my googan referenceRusty Spinner wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:20 amtroutfishing4life wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 9:35 amLand locks are doing well but too many googans are putting them in the smoker!

Re: Round Valley Trout Association meeting 2/21/19:
This is my new favorite fish on the fly rod, but I wouldn't waste my time with NJ stockers. I fell in love with the Ounaniche (landlocked Atlantic salmon) last July on my Labrador trip. That fish would have been average in length up there, but the NJ fish is much fatter having fed in a lake and not having to fight river current all day and night. An incredible fish that will jump so often that you can barely keep them on the line. To me, even a hotter fish than a east coast steelhead.

Can we trust introducing a new species will have the intended outcome down the road? It often seems like we regret these things years later.

But hatchery fish are so yummy to eat !!!

Re: Round Valley Trout Association meeting 2/21/19:
I respectfully disagree. The landlocks likely won't successfully reproduce without a stream to run up. The are a stocking dependent fishery. With proper slot limit sizes you can have a nice sport fishery with regular harvest. Besides buying a license entitles you to lawfully kill fish (not kill everything but lawful harvest).troutfishing4life wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:22 amThe whole put and take fishery is just sad honestly.

Zero reproduction as intended.

Re: Round Valley Trout Association meeting 2/21/19:
No, but NJ has stocked landlocked salmon off and on for many decades. As fish species go, this non-native isn't the threat to natives like brown trout would be. Or snakeheads. Or flatheads, etc.CheeseburgerFly wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:46 amCan we trust introducing a new species will have the intended outcome down the road?
