They are naturally there... No need to stock them. Once a fish has populated an area, that population will be the most stable and largest. Stocking fish will just lower the population size in the end due to competition for habitat space and food.
Fish get into water systems via tributaries, birds, and floods. The Delaware river connects to the Raritan via the D&R Canal and the Delaware has a healthy stock of Walley as well so they could have traveled from there.
