I thought the same since I work within spitting distance of it but the river is already up a foot and rising along with being off-color. Speed/flow has doubled as well. Water temp at 7:46 was 44F.
I've made two trips since sandy and one thing for sure is that there is plenty of new cover in the river. Lots of trees down that hopefully will stay there and not be removed by the PVSC or The Morris Cty Mos. Comm. They raped one side of the river last year removing all the good cover and turning the river into a sterile. obstacle free body of water. As the season wore on, pike were harder to find. One side of the river is still intact as its on private land/swampy so hopefully they'll leave it alone.
Some pics of their 'improvement"
