During the spring of 2000 the club has stocked over 4,000 trout ranging from 11 inches to over 20 inches with 2000 going in the week before opening day and another 2100 on May 13th. This second stocking had some true monsters upwards of 6lbs. which should make this year's trout contest very interesting. John Mancuso took the following photos at the most recent stocking. Another 1,800 browns were stocked in the fall of 2000 that ranged from 11 to 13 inches.
This big load holds some beautiful fish with a nice brown hiding his face.
This picture shows your average trout to give some perspective of the size of the fish bleow.
This is one of the larger fish, but not the biggest released into Lake Hopatcong by the KDC in May,2000.
