250,000 of them go into the Delaware river .
Most in about a 38 mile section of it .

While catches are good in the areas they stock , and fish come back to spawn I’m betting it’s less than 10%

Many walleyes go far downriver during floods. Between 1985 and 2003 I won 7 NJ Skillful Angler Awards with walleyes that I caught while ultralight jigging at night from shore in the tidal Delaware River. One fall I caught 77 walleyes from one spot. I also caught a musky in that spot that was released in the Bushkill River by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission.
