Which town were you in? Last week I fished a 1/2 mile stretch of the Passaic in Florham Park for three solid hours. All I had to show for my efforts was one baby pickerel. I fished half the time with a medium sized Rooster Tail and the other half with a medium jointed Rapala. I think the pike must be further down stream.
