Trout Stocking

[Almaink]

So I finally got to see them stock the D&R Canal yesterday afternoon. They had a young blonde woman who looked great, but was IMO a little to weak to be manning the net and stocking these fish. I thought she was going to drop the net every time the guy handed it to her and she was dropping the fish on a pipe below the bridge. Anyway they put 3 nets on either side of the bridge. Each net seemed to hold at lest one breeder, that was an unexpected bonus. We caught nothing for about 2 hour even tho I threw everything in the box at them. Then they started to hit bait and a few were pulled up. Next they were hitting spinners and some guy caught one of the breeders they put in. I ended up with a nice 16" rainbow and a cookie cutter 9.5" rainbow. Some dude pulled up with an ocean pole and tossed a spinner from the top of the bridge and first cast he caught one of the breeder browns they put in. Some people are just born lucky I guess.

What town was that because I don't think they stock the D&R canal here in Bound Brook, thanx.

It was in West Trenton. The guy on the stocking truck told me the bridge was the last stop on the Feeder Canal. Rt. 175 and Upper Ferry Road.
