The Lake Hopatcong Commission, in cooperation with the Lake Hopatcong Foundation and Knee Deep Club of Lake Hopatcong, is now in the third year of a trout tagging study to monitor trout survival in Lake Hopatcong over the summer months. All trout stocked under the study are tagged, and we are requesting that all tagged trout be reported and safely released. 2022 tags were blue, 2023 were silver color and this year tan.<\/p>\n

If a fish is kept, please still fill out the form below and turn in tags at Dow\u2019s Boat Rental (145 Nolan\u2019s Point Rd, Lake Hopatcong 07849), Lake\u2019s End Marina (91 Mt Arlington Blvd, Landing, NJ 07850), or to the Knee Deep Club (PO Box 404, Lake Hopatcong NJ 07849).<\/p>\n

It is essential to Not Stress Out the Fish. <\/strong> Please report only the tag color to ease any stress on the fish.<\/p>\n

The study is expected to run three years. \u00a0At the end of each year five participants will be randomly selected for a $100 Gift Cards generously donated by LiveTheLake<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0To be eligible for prizes you must fill out the form below and either turn in the tags at one of the locations above, or submit a photo of the fish with tag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
