Reservoir Wading
Hey all, I'm looking for some recommendations on a good place to wade and fish, preferably in a reservoir. I know you aren't allowed to wade in Round Valley, which is where I usually go. I have the day off tomorrow so I want to make the most of it, but I also want to keep cool in the crazy heat we have this week. Not trying to spot burn anyone, so if you have a recommendation you don't feel comfortable with posting shoot me a PM. Tight lines!

Re: Reservoir Wading
Not a res, but maybe give the Raritan River a try. Lots of good access for wading, and thanks to Andy and company's cleanup efforts, you can practically wade barefoot without a care!
Plenty of good fish, too.

Re: Reservoir Wading
Thanks for the recommendations!
Lard, any specific locations you could PM me to start/end at? I'm somewhat familiar with the Raritan but have never really done much fishing in it other than a few spots.

Also don't fish the head gates at Duke island park. Most pressured spot on the river next to the ladder. If lard forgets to respond, pm me.

Re: Reservoir Wading
Most, if not all, of the reservoirs in NNJ/CNJ restrict swimming. Guess they don't want to scoop your soggy corpse out of our drinking water

Re: Reservoir Wading
.
Some reservoirs have a guarded swimming area, but none of them allow people to just swim freely. Swimming leads to gatherings which inevitably leads to drunken picnics with blasting music which inevitably leads to drownings. In fact, the other week Roberto E. Figueroa-Rivera, 35, of Newark, jumped in the water at Round Valley and drowned. Link to an article about the incident: http://www.nj.com/hunterdon/index.ss...eing_pull.html http://www.wfmz.com/news/western-new...voir/585606133 If you wear a PFD and look like a serious fisherman and not a picnicker, they might leave you alone. But they might not, either. .
