Rainbow trout readied for N.J. fishing season TRENTON Some 570,000 robust rainbow trout will be stocked in waters across New Jersey for the spring trout season, and as many as 180,000 of the feisty fish will be waiting when the season kicks off April 4, the state Department of Environmental Protection has announced. In the coming months, the DEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife will be stocking only rainbow trout, a hearty species that is resistant to furunculosis, a common cold water-fish disease that has impacted brown and brook trout reared at the Pequest Trout Hatchery in Warren County. Fish and Wildlife reports that it has taken aggressive steps to eliminate the disease from the hatchery. Raceways used to raise the fish have been disinfected and increased measures have been taken to deter birds, which are sus-
pected of having transmitted the disease from the wild. Furunculosis cannot be transmitted to people, the agency noted. Rainbow trout will be the only species raised at the hatchery for the next several years, until the introduction of diseaseresistant strains of brook and brown trout can be established. Rainbow trout released in the coming months will average 10.5 inches long. “The trout going out from the Pequest Hatchery this spring will be completely healthy -- and big,” said division Director David Chanda. “The only difference is that we will be stocking solely rainbow trout, a much heartier, diseaseresistant species which has not been exposed to the bacteria that causes furunculosis.” “In New Jersey, the spring trout season is a tradition shared by generations of anglers who
take this opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and some of the finest fishing on the East Coast,” said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. “Now is a great time to get your fishing license and trout stamp and take part once again in this wonderful tradition.” A fishing license and a trout stamp are required to fish for trout for anyone between the ages of 16 and 70. Children under 16 and New Jersey residents 70 and older can fish for free. Licenses and stamps can be purchased online at ww.nj.wildlifelicense. com or obtained through license agents statewide. For a list of agents, visit www.njfishandwildlife. com/agentlst.htm. For more information on the trout stocking program, visit: http:// www.njfishandwildlife. com/trtinfo.htm. The full stocking schedule will be posted in March.

Nutley’s Chelsea Bradley will be participating in the 2015 “Bike & Build” event by bicycling 3,830 miles across the U.S., from Virginia to Oregon. The program benefits affordable housing and empowers young adults for a lifetime of service and civic en-
gagement. Her journey on wheels is expected to take 75 days. No stranger to community service, Bradley was a member of the Key Club at Nutley High School and her dad, Richard Bradley, is a 20year Kiwanis member and past president and
current secretary of the club. For more information or to donate to the cause, visit bikeandbuild.org, click on “Donate” and then click on “Select a rider (or general donation)” and select Bradley from the pull-down menu. (set all roman for story)
