Good job, personally I've stopped trout fishing and I am after smallmouth. Smallmouth are good in that river, but downstream in the lower sections where it's called lamington rather than black river, like near the North Branch Raritan river. Same deal with the South Branch. They love flies too, but you should use larger flies like wooly buggers and various streamers. Maybe even poppers.
Additionally, I've been wet wading, no waders necessary in this already warm water. Getting my legs wet helps keep me cool too.
Smallmouth Bass fishing in rivers is very similar to trout fishing, actually a bit easier maybe. Id lay a streamer ontop of a run, let it drift down, and pull it in on the turnaround.
