Thumbs up Raritan river MEGA float 8/10/18:

Luke and I started at Orlando Park in Raritan Borough just before 7am. We flew down the river with the nice high water, a big change from dragging and scraping we were used to on the N and S branches. No shortage of hard fighting smallmouth from start to finish. Lots of SMB up to 14", we both rolled a heavy fish at the Manville rapids and again at the old Conco pipe.
Just after the Conco pipe Luke hooks a huge one, massive run, then in typical smallmouth fashion the fish comes flying out of the water, seemed to go 6 feet into the air !!! Big head shake, jig goes one way, the fish the other, heart breaker for sure ! Hit the Piscataway take out point just after 1pm.
Water looked good, just a slight stain to it. I think we covered 10 miles in a short amount of time.
With the North and South branches and the main stem of the Raritan done, the next stop on the Tour D' Watershed is going to be the mighty Millstone.
