Cool and thanks,

Just one more question, just checked out google maps near that damn, where do you park and do you fish the top of the dam or the bottom?

Thanks!

I'll be a voice of dissent and recommend that you do go wading in the Passaic River...as long as it's the Passaic in Basking Ridge. No pike there; you'd have to settle for pickerel.

Closer to Totowa, you have several streams to choose from.

mostly below the dam, but they stock above and below. Wading above is not an option however. plenty of parking next to the dam, it is a small park

Hey guys, Was able to get out on 1/2/15 for about 5 hours on the Rockaway. Waded up and down Grace Lord, struck out but enjoyed some beautiful sights. Then tried my luck at Powerville dam struck out there as well but i had a great time.

I want to thank you guys for your tips and insight, i can see now why caution is needed when wading, i stumbled a few times but my cat-like reflexes kept me upright. Can't wait for spring to get me some trout! till then, i'll be practicing my fly casting!!

Thanks again!!

Isn't the damage in Grace Lord from hurricane Irene amazing? The whole hillside went into the river, trees and all.

There were still rocks, and chunks of dirt falling into the river about 10ft from me, probably scared all the fish away !
