HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2015 

The 2015 season is expected to provide the normally superb trout fishing opportunities New Jersey anglers have grown to expect and appreciate. The average size of the trout stocked is greater than 10.5 inches, and the Bonus Broodstock Lakes and the breeder stocking programs provide plenty of trophy size fish within a short drive from anywhere in the state. Although snow and ice may continue to blanket the northern portion of the state our stocking trucks began rolling on March 16th on schedule. The late ice and snow melt is making for excellent stream flows this spring and the recent warming trend should help heat things up right before the season opener!

Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Waterford Township Police Chief Daniel Cormaney reported a man has been arrested for the sexual assault of one teenage girl and the sexual contact of another in Waterford Township.

Larry D. Holliday, 48, of Willingboro, is charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault, four counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Dear Editor,

DOVER (March 23, 2015) – DNREC’s Mosquito Control Section begins its annual spring woodland-pool spraying today, treating wooded wetlands near select populated areas in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties. About 8,000 forested acres that produce large numbers of early season mosquitoes will be strategically sprayed to treat immature aquatic larval stages, using larvicides applied by helicopter and possibly aircraft.

\”The colder weather this year has somewhat delayed development of larvae for these species,\” said Mosquito Control Administrator Dr. William Meredith, \”But it won’t much affect the numbers of adult mosquitoes that will eventually emerge. With woodland flooding conditions upstate running about normal so far but well above normal downstate, potential exists for lots of mosquitoes to emerge.\”

Voorhees, NJ — Kennedy Health is pleased to announce that it has been selected for the second year in a row as one of the Philly.com Top Workplaces under the category of \”Large Employers.\”
