As far as the Ramapo goes, where you were is good if you know the holes....above the trestle there are some good holding spots, just look for deep pockets and the trout are there........I grew up in Oakland and spent 20 years fishing the Ramapo from Mason Jar restaurant near Rt. 17 in Mahwah all the way down to Pompton falls(Hamburger turnpike)...I pretty much know every rock in that place.......If you have waders, I'd suggest Glen Gray Rd. off Ramapo Valley and work your way up and downstream from there.....there is parking right after the bridge....upstream around the 1st bend is a deeper hole that has always produced sizable fish for me im the past, both trout and bass........there are smallmouth bass in the river.....Another good spot is off Ramapo Valley Rd ...You turn down Lakeshore Rd in Oakland(mapquest it) go down the hill, bear to the right and follow about a mile or so to the very end(it's a dead end)...park there and explore the river......I recommend going downstream from where the lake flows into the river.......That stretch is a decent area also......and finally the area between Potash Lake(off 202) and the old Pleasureland area is EXCELLENT when the river is at a good level......also right next to Potash the river runs and there are alot of big trout in that stretch under the trestle bridge.........as a kid I used to get 3, 4 and even 5 pound Rainbows every year but that was over 25 years ago and I really don't even fish for trout anymore, maybe once or twice a year only.....Any questions just ask and i'll try to help if i can......I also know the Wanaque,Pequannock and Pompton very well because of growing up right there and fishing it for so long...Once in a while, I'll hit my secret spots also .......FISH ON!!!!
