Union County Trout

[Billfish715]

It's unfortunate that so many of the little streams are not being stocked this year but there is a silver lining for some other trout stocked waters. Union County is one such place. Seely's Pond and Green Brook are getting a sizeable amount of extra fish this year. So are Lower Echo Lake, Milton Lake and the Rahway River. Milton Lake is getting almost 3x the number of trout they got last year. Opening day at Echo Lake should be productive since they are increasing the stocking total substantially. The Rahway River above St. George Ave. will be seeing about 3,000 more trout too. For all of the youngsters who don't have access to the more famed streams and lakes, it should be like the good old days when places like the Rahway River in Cranford were stocked with almost as many fish as the Musky. I cut my teeth on trout fishing on the Rahway River. I'd ride my Schwinn with my hip boots, rod, bait, net, lunch etc. to a spot near one of the two dams in Cranford and set up shop for the day. Now there is another addition......Nomahegan Par
