Overpeck Creek, which is more like a lake where it flows through Overpeck Park, flows directly into the tidal portion of the Hackensack river, although it is not tidal itself. It may be slightly brackish near where it connects with the Hackensack river, however I have had good luck catching largemouth (and now stripers) throughout the creek (lake). I have heard of stripers being caught all the way upstream on the Hackensack up to the first dam which creates Oradell reservoir, so I guess it makes sense that they would also be found in Overpeck Creek.
