Default Re: Rahway River 9/27

Same for me. I have fished it every opening day for the last 40 years save one when I was living too far away
Hope is in the horizon as there is a plan underway to do significant dredging Nd flood control
The Mill Dam gate broke 12 years ago and cannot be closed. As a consequence the river upstream from there is essentially drained and silted over They should simply remove the dam

I remember fondly the opening days lines bs ms, making bonfires and the sense of community and love if fishing this created. I and every kid in the neighborhood fished the river all summer, and explored the UC lakes and ponds
It's a 23 mile river that travels through some of the most densely populated parts of the state and yet is very accessible and for the most part picturesque it deserves to be saved so that future generations of kids can learn to love fishing as we did
