The area above the falls in Winfkeld is definitely a possibility although I have fished there a few times without any luck.

Anyone ever kayak the UC portion of the Passaic? It looks like good access in Berkely Heights/New Providence? Would the current be super strong today after yesterday's rain? The Rahway was high this morning but not dangerously so.
There's a boat launch at Synder Ave in BH, don't yak myself but I've caught small pike from Gillette on down from the banks (guess they jump the mini dam in Chatham since stocking stops at Florham Park), nothing like they get up north though Eddie's found some nice ones in that stretch. Lot's of lay downs since Sandy but I've heard of removal efforts in some areas to help flow. Portage would probably depend on level.
