I admit to knowing very little or nothing about the main stem of the Raritan. It has always looked so imposing. I do know that it is stocked with trout through the stretch above Route 206, but is it stocked anywhere below there? I'm just curious how far it was from any stocking point where you caught the small rainbow. It's not that I'm looking to fish there but I'm wondering how far that fish might have swum from where it was stocked. Finally, in your opinion, what other kinds of fish and in what numbers should the state stock in order to turn the Raritan into a really top notch fishery? I know that there have been many species caught or recorded in the river but what species could the river best sustain? Or, should it just be left alone?
