Raritan river 5/1/25:
Not much today, fished around Duke Island Park and watched a group of anglers put a hurting on the recently stocked trout, the guy with the fly rod was having a blast ! Fished up and down from them, nothing. Went down to Robert St and got 3 stocked trout and one small SMB. I did hook a nice trout that smoked my drag, jumped, big head shake, waved a fin and the fish was gone. Tough with the low gin clear water, we do need rain. If you are into bow fishing you can mop up with the carp in the shallows right now. Worked my way down to Somerville Petersbrook Greenway where the tree schmutz was starting to be a PIA, at least the wind wasn't blowing 2000 mph ! On the river I looked further down to what seemed to be someone's dog, I stood and watched waiting to see the owner show but that didn't happen. Stood and watched some more and took a photo. Best to take the high road and avoid confrontation. One more trout stocking on May 7th for the river. The blue bells are being replaced by honey suckle now. Carried out what trash I could find at every location.
