North Branch
Good to have heard some news of good N. Branch catch. I fished the river twice last week and caught only four bass that didn't even measure average. That got me wondering if the population has depleted and a lot of guys said so on a FB site. Stony Brook in Princeton used to be loaded with smallmouths; 10 years ago we found them vanished, fishing rather persistently a few years and coming up with very few, whereas it used to be better than how well we did on the N. Branch until recent, except for size. I doubt fishing pressure did it. At least the fishing we did there the past recent years never occasioned anyone else's presence.
