Anyone fish the Passaic in Haledon to Paterson?

I've been there a few times, behind the hs. There's fish there but I never had a "great" day. Couple bass, couple pike, nothin huge. I've seen some pics though. Lots of shoreline fishing with shiners goin on there.

Funny, one time a dude came running into the woods from the b-ball court to take a leak and I was there workin some shoreline structure. He was more startled by me than I was of him. Def an Oh Sh!t kinda moment!!! All went well though as I returned home with everything I left with.

Washington ave and River rd in Elmwood Park, right next to the high school. There's a launch there and parking. The parking is right next to River rd so it sees constant traffic, no worries about your car from all I've heard or seen. I hear guys do pretty good with bass around Dundee falls which is just a little down river. It's got to be hit from the water, there's not great spots to cast along the shoreline with the exception of that launch area. Best of luck and let us know how you do.

Behind Kennedy is one of my old school spots, like 15 years ago I fished there. Never had any problems, always had 2-3 other anglers/criminals with me when I fished that spot. Definitely worth fishing!!!!

Don't forget your piece! Or piece pipe!!!

Totowa Bait and Tackle has GIANT shiners if you need bait. ive seen 5inch shiners from that shop.

Fish every bridge you see on google maps. riverside ave. the mill in little falls. between lackawana ave and rt 80. hillery st. 31st street. pennington park.
anywhere past the great falls is gona be HOOD. straight gangsters.

lots of thorns and bugs.

There is a launch behind Memorial Park in Fairlawn- drive all the way thru the parking lot towards the river. I've launched there a few times (including last Saturday) and paddled upstream to the bridges. I've gone as far as the train bridge which is 4th one from there. Some is pretty easy paddle, a few places it gets low and fast, I've had to get out and pull my kayak. Did well a few times with smallies, lot of dinks with some nice ones mixed in. Never fished for pike there, but state stocking map shows they put them in all around there. Good luck.
