Yeah, most of the fingerlings will probably fall victim to the smallmouth and stripers in that stretch of the Raritan. Down by New Brunswick the river is very tidal and at times the water gets so low that a lot of the river bed is visible. The remaining water must get pretty warm at low tide during the summer. I hope that many of the rainbow fingerlings can find pools where they can hold over...then again, those pools are probably where you'd find the larger predator fish. It probably would have been a better choice to stock the fingerlings up by Duke Island Park instead of Riverside because at least it's not tidal up there.
