Default Re: Heading to the Raritan

That river would be better off for the program but as a whole I just don't think this program would work in our region. I'm pretty much as close to the Muddysquan as you can get and even tho the secret society doesn't report like they should these fish are pretty rare. I know a ton of people who fish the prime spots at the prime times and have only encountered 1 or 2. Two major factors are pressure from people when they dump them in and all the predatory species in our waters. I have watched people catch 40-50 of them out of a hole after they dump them. Think about how many are caught within a month and thrown back and float belly side up. Then they get to the ocean and are candy for bigger fish. If you think about all the fish that get dumped in our streams and rivers every year that lead to major rivers, bays and oceans we should have reports more often of sea run trout.
