The water was a strange color and just didn't look good.
I am hoping it picks up and gets better.

Hey Dan. I've only been fishing the Passaic for pike since August, when I moved back to NJ, so I don't have a full year yet. My spots that produced very well in the summer and fall haven't produced much so far this spring. I have been picking fish but not in the numbers I'd seen previously. But the water level is still higher than it was when I had spectacular fishing so I'm hoping that has something to do with it. Maybe when the weather stabilizes into the usual summer pattern it will pick up.
