Musconetcon help
 

My son just moved to college in hackettstown. He is going to a small school on a wrestling scholarship called centenary.

Looks like the river flows pretty close to hackettstown. How is the trout fishing in this area. Thinking I can meet up with my son on a Sunday morning (his only day off) and do some trout fishing come springtime.



Any info appreciated

it's excellent in season from the falls all the way to hackettstown

The musky is great trout fishing. Lots of river to explore. If willing to travel a few minutes the pequest is just down rt 46 and is another great trout river

I am afraid that it might be a little challenging for you. You will have to walk and wade rather than having the fish dumped into a hole in front of you. LOL The Ramapo has spoiled you.

Give me a poke come springtime, I live 5 miles north of there....I can show you my favorite spots on the musky and the pequest.

Some really nice Trout come out of the Pequest and Musky during the fall. You can find me out there quite a bit come November and December. You gotta make a day out of it. Quick breakfast, fishing, then off to Hot Dog Johnny's for a nice healthy lunch, lol. I'm all over that area. Need any advice shoot me a PM Shrimpy!

That whole area is Ground Zero for trout fishing !! If he can't catch trout in that area he will definitely need to take up golf.

Fortunately for him, there's a golf course right on the Musky in Hackettstown.
