No motors just 12 ft row boat and now Yaks...I could add 20 more places that will beat the pants off Nj..But these places will take alot of ur time..I'll throw in Cannonsville reservoir..Since these 2 places formed the tail waters of the east & west branches of the Del.. Nj can't compare..

Agreed 100% !! Did he mention that these fisheries can easily sustain themselves without stocking??? Stocking in the beaverkill was'nt even nessessary until the mid 90's when horrible droughts caused some devastating fish kills....And the deleware and its branches receive zero stockings, other than the fish that make their way in through some tributaries....
Although i do not know the rest of the state very well and i could totally believe that the rest of the state may very well be an afterthought
That being said the upper delaware watershed is very possibly the best native trout fisherie east of the mississippi, although the thread seems to be focusing on STOCKED trout fisheries in which case the delaware is not even in the topic
