Although they do go through the routine, true strain muskies will not successfully spawn in NJ. All of our muskies here are a result of stocking and because it takes some time for them to get big, safe & successful catch & release is crucial. Tigers are hybrids so biologically they can't spawn.

In general, pike will not successfully spawn here in NJ either. Apparent hybridization with pickerel provides some proof that there may be limited pike reproduction in the Passaic.

Walleye seem to only successfully spawn in the Delaware.
