Re: Passaic River-Chatham to Millington stretch questions.
.
They don't stock any pike that far upstream. There are a couple of dams in the Chatham area that keep the vast majority of pike from being able to access the upper reaches of the Passaic.
That being said, there are a few 'local experts' that manage to find the very few pike that live in that area. I guess they swim past the dams when the river floods.
Outside of the trout-stocking areas, that area of the Passaic mostly contains yellow bullheads, small-medium carp, swarms of sunfish, some pickerel, and various cyprinids like white sucker and creek chub. You may find a few small largemouth bass.
I was considering kayaking that area, but the water levels are already low because it hasn't rained in a while. I need to flush my toilet a few times and see if the water level rises.
