Nope.

Only some major streams classified as Trout Maintenance are stocked in the fall.

As there are no such TM classified streams in the central and southern portions of the state, some Non-Trout classified ponds are stocked there.
Those damn sly trout sometimes ignore our classifications. You have to figure that a major river system like the Raritan has some spring holes within it that allow coldwater species such as trout to summer over. They get rouge holdover trout in the NJ sections of the Delaware so its not beyond the realm to think that the Raritan can holdover as well. Plenty of photo evidence. Sometimes you do have to believe the eye test.

Sure, no doubt a few springs with a few trout that holdover. But not many,.....not enough to classify it as Trout Maintenance.

Re: Who said there are no trout in the Raritan
 
What are we looking at to determine length of time the stocked Trout has been in the water?
What is the eye test?
Is there anything to fin length?
Andy has answered the meat color question I had.
