Many I’m sure come from privately stocked waters , I’ve personally only caught 3 browns in public waters in the past several seasons while hundreds of bows to 9#’s

That is completely false. A number of public rivers/streams in NJ have well-documented, self-sustaining populations of wild brown trout. Some very nice fish, too. Not sure where you are fishing but I target them and catch wild browns on most of my trips in NJ.
