It is also the most accessible with 99% of it falling within public lands hence its popularity. Anglers flock to two sections: the FFO only stretch and the last mile or two before entering the D. There is plenty of good water throughout if one wants to fish more than 50 feet from your car. Other species as well with redbreast sunfish, some smallies and various other panfish to keep things interesting.

Yep all that is true. I know the river, I walked the whole thing probably 25 times.

Mark B. greeted us with a big smile as usual, always a great host.

See what happens in the days ahead, I guess for most it is just status quo.

I have never had a chance to fish it but I have seen it and agree it is the best trout stream I have seen in NJ. Have you ever fished the upper stretch above Rt 206 toward Saw Mill Lake? lots of beaver ponds
