I am going to keep asking for an extension of spring stocking on the Raritan through Somerville to Manville, if they can put 9000 trout in Lake Hopatcong every year, they can easily afford to put more trout in the Raritan River.

I am going to keep asking for walleye stocking on the Raritan and D&R canal in Bound Brook, if they can put a million walleye in the Delaware river annually, I'm sure they can add some walleye in the Raritan.

There has been some talk of a local TU group getting a permit to stock Brown Trout in the Raritan, that may take some time as funds need to be raised, the permit is not the problem.
