Ugly Stick thanks for the link, pretty interesting information. Never realized the hatchery pumped out this many fish. Pretty amazing numbers. ~35,000 muskies for the Delaware, never realized they stocked that many musky in the river. To all the musky pros on the site, do they spawn as well or no. And ~1.25 million walleye in the Delaware, holy crap that is an insane number of walleye. But considering Fast Eddie catches a million of them himself I guess it's necessary to give everyone else a shot. I didn't see the Delaware receiving any channels which was surprising, is it just Pa that stocks channels in the Delaware. I'd be interested in how many are released a year, has to be a fairly sizable number I would imagine.
Great information Ugly Stick thanks again for posting, definitely good to know license fees are being used in a manner supportive of our sport.

Those waters that get huge amounts of fish if you look the majority are small fingerlings at best, the survival rate for those fingerlings are extremely low at best where as the advanced fingerlings and yearlings survival rate is much better. Yes walleyes and muskies will spawn in the river but no where enough to keep a sustainable fishery. Opposite is true for channels, they spawn very well in the river and I'm actually surprised pa still stocks them
