Oh boy!!! I’d rather catch a the Stripers, Hybrids, Lm, Sm, Pike, Musky and other fun fish out of the Raritan! Stock the Trout already so I can put them on a Stringer and then put them in my garden whole as fertilizer!!!!!!

Da comrade,

On a side note we did receive a major contribution to our buckets from Gannets United.

If you want to get angry about numbers, look at the musconetcong. 51,000 trout? Really? There are only a few other bodies of water getting over 20,000, they should spread the wealth there imo. Take 10-15k out of the musky and disperse them elsewhere. I get the musky is a popular river but aren't there a lot of clubs on it? Doesn't seem like it should be the river to get the most trout.

It (and the Pequest) probably have the most public water. The upper Musky is pretty much all accessible from Waterloo down through where Rt 57 parallels it. The lower river I think has many of the clubs, not sure as I don't know that section as well. Don't ask me to explain their distro formula, I'm sure its all convoluted. Hell the Rahway river (and I use that term very loosely) gets 11,970!
