| The
Division of Fish and Wildlife has jaw tagged more than 1,000 brook trout for pre-season
release in New Jersey waters every spring since 1998. The fish are distributed
throughout the state. And, beginning in 2007, an additional 1,000 trout are tagged and stocked during the 2nd week after opening day.
If you are a lucky angler who lands one of these fish, send your name, address,
fish tag number and location of catch to:
Hook a Winner Program
Pequest Trout Hatchery
605 Pequest Road
Oxford, NJ 07863
In
recognition of your catch you will be mailed a certificate and award patch. In
addition, your name will be forwarded to the New Jersey State
Council of Trout Unlimited and entered into their drawing for one of 12 rod
and reel combinations to be held during the celebration of National
Fishing and Boating Week in June.
