Fished different spots three miles of the lower So. Branch around Franklin Twp. to Flemington. Water clarity was like coffee with a little milk added. And it was colder again. Not one bite. Anyone know what the Paulinskill looks like? Thinking of heading north the next few days.

Don't know what the paulinskill looks like, but I was out yesterday chasing smallies in a north jersey flow with similar coffee like raging water. I would give it a few days before taking a long drive. I was out on Monday before the front and saw about 15 to 20 smallies preparing to spawn right near there spawning grounds. Had 3 to 4 feet of visibility. The water has also dropped 5 to 6 degrees. At least there will be some stable weather soon.

Cuz, I would say conditions should be drastically improved by tomorrow afternoon. I was heading up to the fly shop yesterday afternoon and took a drive along the river above the KLG. The river conditions were milk chocolate and the flow rate was fast to rediculous.
