Thumbs up Re: Raritan Float: Eyes and Smallies

And I'm off all week !!! The weather may go sour and it will be enough to keep me off Merrill Creek looking for that state record brown trout.
Been hit by lightning once and that was enough. I can float bad weather, turn over the canoe on the bank and crawl under should it get really bad.
Is this report from the Delaware river, are you sure it's the Raritan, the river you never see anyone fishing ?
Thanx for posting guys. It is posts like this that we can use when we talk to F&G and ask them why they completely ignore the lower Raritan river.
NJFisherman, you can put in at Duke Island Park, but be back to your car before it gets dark. Or put in at Roberts St., that is where I put in.
You can portage the falls in South Bound Brook on either side of the river.
I came up with a trick for that as I get out above the falls, tie a rope to the canoe, kick it over the falls and walk along the concrete wall with the rope and get in at the bottom.
AGAIN, thanx for the report and pics. One more float and I should be ready for a night float in June some time.
