I could have grabbed a lot more but just took what I felt like (I could reuse the jars someway for example)

Maybe next time I'll bring a trash bag but again I'm already carrying a lot. Those bottles weight up after a while. Even I'm a backpack.

I'll be there later today actually

Its really sad to see the big browns in the lakes die out. At least we have em in the rivers.

years ago I was vertical jigging for lakers and I caught a 13 pound laker with a 6 inch laker in its throat...

Update- Had business in Lebanon today (11/18) so I swung by RVR to check out conditions. Banks are muddy but there were people fishing from shore and I watched a boat pull out from the new temporary ramp ok.

RVTA-

"Due to the extreme low water at Round Valley, with no immediate relief in sight, the Trophy Trout Committee is suspending the 2017 Trophy Trout stocking. We will still accept donations and will resume stocking in 2018. For all those that donate $50 or more through March 2017, you will be entered into a special drawing for a chartered trip to Lake Ontario with Captain Pete Lahosky on his Prime Time for a 4 man, 6 hr trip!"

New Jersey Water Authority plans on contracting work on the dam in a couple of years. RVR has to go down another 11 feet or so before they can do that. We're looking at about five years before full pool again. That is, if the drought lifts.

That's disappointing news.

You better have a 4x4 and a lighter boat if you wanna try launching. Driving up 31 can see the launch across the lake and saw a flat bed pulling a truck out yesterday afternoon
