Round Valley Reservoir Question.

[Detour66]

I was at RVR Sunday and the water is very low again. I noticed a small barge which looked like it was doing some dredging off the south lot half towards the dam. This is the first time I have ever seen this at RVR. Does anyone know why RVR is so low and also why is the barge dredging. Thanks in advance.

They should drain the entire body of water down to 20% capacity. After that’s done they should shock all the fish, take them out and stock the so called “Trophy Trout” in the north and south branch and main stem of the Raritan. The lake
Trout should be put into Monksville and Waywayanda! When all this is said and done we can rename the Res a trophy Largemouth and Perch lake and make it Kayaks only!
There’s going to be a bunch of Tiger and Golden Trout stocked in the coming months. Up to 20 inches from what I hear. I’d rather catch those on a river on 3-4 lb. test instead of trolling gear that is similar and heavier than the gear I use for Striper’s and Blues in the salt! Ohhhh, and there’s gona be some Shiners stocked
to fatten up the Rock Bass. Pretty cool!!!

Lol excellent idea...with all the scud in that lake I'd opt for gobies, probably grow some yuuuuuge smallmouth eventually!
