Re: Passaic River Stocking: Two Bridges to Elmwood Park
They went back to Packanack yesterday,...& spent the morning electro-fishing the north east finger which still had 1-2 feet of water. There were very few fish, and their unit kept tripping, probably due to a metal pipe (or something) under the water. Very frustrating. They pulled out ~160 fish.
Then they mobilized extra crew and one of their Argos to attempt to get into the main lake basin. Before they even tried to pull the boat through the mud, they got their Argo stuck in the mud, still ~50 feet from the water’s edge. It took them about 3 hours to get out of the mud, at which point they abandoned any further attempts to access the remaining water.
Will post total fish #'s / species when I receive them.
