Upper Passaic River (Florham Park)???
Well I started my new job yesterday in Florham Park. While sitting at my desk on break, I decided mess around on Google Maps to see what's in the viscinity, as I am from Northern Jerz and don't know the area too well. Sure enough, directly behind my office building runs my favorite river, the beautiful Passaic.
Now I have fished the river tons of times from Fairfield, through Two Bridges, and even the tidal area below the Dundee falls, but never as far upstream as Florham Park. I most definetly will be tossing my 'yak in there as soon as this rain ends, but what should I be targeting? Bass and Pike are my focus in the Two Bridges area, but what type of fish are upstream that far?

Re: Upper Passaic River (Florham Park)???
Welcome to the neighborhood. I work in Roseland and wonder the same thing. I have never fished there but see guys going out in jonboats sometimes at River Rd on the Essex/Morris County line.
Let me know if you ever want to toss a few lures at lunchtime. Jon

My neighbor hit a tiger musky in the upper parts once... and there is anything you can imagine that a nice river would hold... look around on Google for the guy that did the 4 day kayak trip from basking ridge to newark. pretty awesome story...

There are Pike, bass, trout, panfish, catfish and a couple other species in
 that area. I would definately target the PIKE.
