Rahway River - Early Morning Dog Walkin/Bassin'

[thomaskgrosvenor]

Good time management. Looking at the map there seems to be some nice patches of the Rahway River at some different parks to try out. Using Google maps and its earth view sometimes gives some idea as to whether or not an area is fishable.

I did not have much luck fishing in Union County. I tried Echo Lake and had no luck. I went to the Watchung Reservation to fish Lake Surprise and was certainly surprised to see that most of the lake was dried up due to delays in dam construction/repairs (there was still some muddy water left and saw a fellow catch a catfish), and I tried Watchung Lake which only had a small allowable fishable area. I did not see Best Lake which is connected by Stony Brook, though, because I was actually trying to find the Watchung Reservation which I eventually found. (I still don't use GPS in the car, maybe someday).
