best northern NJ bass lake?

[steelhead52]

What do ppl think is the best northern NJ (public) lake for bass fishing? (and I basically fly-fish with poppers, on cloudy days.) Ppl say that bass population in Monksville, Echo Lake, and some others has been thinned out by muskies. [If you want your answer to be private between us, you could do it in code, e.g., “eenwood-gray”, or “anistear-cay”.]
