The D & R Canal has also been stocked going back to the 90's with tigers and true strains and I was talking to someone at F & G on Saturday and they said it seemed like every time they did a stocking the canal would flood into the Millstone. Neither the Millstone nor the Raritan have ever gotten a dose of skis, but I would bet the house there are good numbers in there that have come from the canal and Carnegie.
Sorry this is kind of late but stumbled upon this on google. A friend of mine and I were fishin the Robert st. Dam( while it was still there) and below the falls in the section that pools off to the side we saw Atleast 2 huge true Strain musky sun bathing in about 1 ft of water. Would not bite a thing but all we really had was plastic worms. Coolest thing I've ever seen on the raritan. The pic below is one another buddy of mine pulled out while fishing the point in manville where the millstone and raritan meet. Bottom line is that they are in there. A river is a river. Maybe not many but it will make the catch that much more sweet[IMG][/IMG]
