Union County Trout

[catfishonthelake]

Some of the ponds are already opening up in UC. I saw a guy fishing while I was running in Nomahegan yesterday. The little stream with the bridge near the parking lot is opening a bigger hole every day and that's where he was fishing. Access is tough since they still have all those fences up. Not sure how the fishing will be this year, I was told by the contractor that they took all the bass, sunfish and catfish and put them in Lower Echo and "disposed" of the carp. I almost cried when he told me that. That place is where I got hooked on carp fishing and I have some great memories. That being said, I was told by someone that they saw carp in there after they refilled it and I was catching sunnies for catfish bait by that stream after they refilled it. Not sure if they re-stocked or fish came in from the back or the Rahway or what, but there seems to be fish in there and there will indeed be a trout stocking.

Catfish, It looks like you will be trout fishing there this spring. I thought about you when they were doing the pond reconstruction. There were some big carp in there. I've got another spot for you to try with some biguns. Send me a private EM.

Thanks Billfish. I actually went and talked to the guy when they were working on it. Broke my heart. My wife caught one out of there that was pushing 20 pounds. Now I can go and catch 10-inch trout.

I don't do much trout fishing. I go maybe 3 times a year. There are some carp waters around that don't get stocked with trout.
