D&R Canal and New Brunswick Fishing

[itisdillon]

Hi folks,

I have been lurking for a couple weeks, popping in every now and then to see what is going on. I really think you guys a hell of a community here. I moved to New Brunswick a few months ago and have fished the D&R Canal around the Landing Lane Bridge / Route 18 Bridge a few times. I love being able to bike around as if I were a kid again and find spots along this waterway. I am looking to get more into it now that I have a little more free time. Unfortunately, I have yet to have any luck. But, I am not discourage; plan on trying different set ups / different times / different spots.

My question for the forums are what is in the canal side and what is in the raritan side? In April, before opening day, I saw the Raritan side stocked with trout in morning. But, someone told me this past weekend when I was fishing that it is too warm to trout now. And the water would be too brackish for bass. I guess I am looking for some info as I am new to the area so I can better prepare my attack.

Thanks!
D
