42,000 trout stocked in the Raritan river:
In case you missed it in the other post:
42,200 fingerling Rainbow Trout, averaging 3.9 inches, were stocked in the lower Raritan River in Riverside Park, Piscataway, on May 24. These fingerling trout were surplus, removed from the raceways at Pequest to allow the remaining fingerlings room to grow to a larger size before they are stocked next year. Anglers fishing the lower Raritan River continue to report occasional catches of Brown Trout that were stocked in the lower Raritan in the spring of 2014 (a one-time stocking related to the fish disease outbreak in the hatchery). It is anticipated that the recently stocked Rainbow Trout fingerlings will also find suitable habitat, adapt to their new surroundings, and provide recreation as they grow larger. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/news/...ontinues17.htm |

Darn I was hoping my local duck pond was going to get those thousands of trout! :D
That's good news. I'll be on the lookout for any mini-bows, and won't be mistaken for young wild trout. What will come out of this however? Curious to hear. Even if they don't make it to be big trout, surely it's good eating for the bass in the river |

I know exactly which lures I'll try on that stretch of water. Rapalas in Rainbow Trout color. https://usercontent2.hubstatic.com/2378983_f520.jpg http://usa.rapala.com/scatter-rap/im...-minnow-rt.jpg . |
