Raritan river 3/18/18:

[AndyS]

All I do is complain to my wife how I hate working outside and I'm getting too old for this crap. So on my day off I stand in a freezing cold 43* water with leaky waders.
Hit up the usual spots, falls, shale flats, Robert St., managed one on the lower shale flats at Duke Island Park. Water looked great, to the point the water turned a turquoise at the deeper spots. This whole section will be closed now till April 7th but I will still be able to fish the lower river.
Ran into Rob from the Ameri-Corps Watershed Ambassadors. He was doing a Macroinvertebrate study and he was really impressed with what he was seeing on the Raritan river.
