I've done exceptionally well with the smallies at Two Bridges, mostly rapalas for them. I have tried to fish other areas of the Passaic like in Garfield but just find myself driving in circles trying to find access but from reports I've read the pike fishery in this area is great. I for one am glad to see the river so lively.

I was driving past Garfield the other day and I saw 2 guys below the Falls fishing. I took a walk over and noticed that once that construction is finished that there will be a walkway that goes right down to the water right below the falls, I'm not sure if that has been open in the. Hopefully there will be access to the river from there when it's opened.
And since I had time to kill I parked on a side road a little North of the falls and crossed the road to get under a bridge. It was a real pain because the road was extremely busy. Fished for 30 minutes but nothing was biting, BUT, I saw some HUGE fish breaking the surface of the water. I mean HUGE. Not sure if they were Carp or Pike.
