I've been asking for a 2 mile extension of trout stocking down to Manville on the Raritan river for better than 5 years now, guess it just fell on deaf ears.

Limestone! Mother Nature did the lower Raritan a major disservice by giving it a shale bottom and not limestone. It would have been stocked long ago and would be a world-class trout stream by now. Quite frankly, with all of the different species in the river, it would be hard for F&G to regulate it at this point and you know they would have to do so.

I do agree that with all of the concerns over protecting trout and then dumping trout into places where their life is unsustainable seems a bit hypocritical. The Raritan certainly has demonstrated its ability to support an extended trout stocking program.

It seemed like many anglers wanted a 2 trout limit in the fall. With the colder months ahead it would seem like the majority of the trout would survive.
The fall stocking is only a fraction of what is stocked in the spring.

I was wondering why there was such a difference between spring/fall quantities too when there's greater longevity in the fall. I ended up keeping a few spring stockies that I caught after the water warmed up because the stress of catching them turned them into floaters when released.
