I hit the South Branch of the Raritan River in downtown Clinton by that Red Mill Museum upstream from the big spillway. This area is a popular spot for stocked trout when they stock in the spring and fall.

These fishing is often slow on these cool, clear-sky days. I caught a small Largemouth Bass and few undersized Smallmouth Bass along with an assortment of sunfish. Not a great day, but I was just happy to be out on the water putting a bend in the rod.

I'm not too familiar with the area upstream from the big spillway as I haven't fished it since I was a kid. It doesn't look like the Red Mill Museum is allowing people to fish on their property, anymore. Too bad, that's where I used to fish as a kid.
