Fishing the millstone + Raritan Junction?

[thmyorke1]

I was fishing the D+R canal today. This was the first time I set foot in the 10-mile lock. Behind me the whole time was the roaring (from all the rain we had) raritan river as it glided over the lil dam next to the fish ladder. (couldnt tell if it even was a dam, the water just rolled and formed this awesome looking wave)

First of all it's beautiful as heck even in the winter. Place is huge and the recent rain added to it i think. There was this flow from the canal that spilled over the land to the millstone side, and boy that was flooded. Water flowing out of the spill area as much as one of the locks.

Anyways- how do you all fish this area? And from what spot? Today it was so fast i didnt think casting anywhere would be useful. I dont think any other land is legal to get onto; such as the fish ladder section or the land between the millstone and the raritan.

Today was a pretty rough day for fishing in the canal, 1 perch for about 5 hours of fishing ( totally worth it ) Probably due to the rain and I heard fishing after a weather front is bad luck. Victor crowell park was chocolate milk!
