John, the lower Raritan has redbreasts, bluegill, yellow perch, smallmouth, carp, channel & white cats, pickerel and the occasional walleye. The canal has the same, plus pumpkinseeds and largemouth and crappie. Springtime in the Raritan there's shad, stripers and a white perch run.

Steve- I understand RV has big Trout . Would you mind telling me what species you find prolific in the Raritan and D&R Canal?
-

John, haven't been to either in years. I mostly fish in the Raritan River, D&R Canal and local ponds. In the winter, if everything else is frozen over, I'll hit up RV for trout from the shore.
