Security reasons ???? I was there today and saw two different groups of Police Officers on foot walking around the reservoir . Maybe it was just an exercise but I haven't seen this before . Anybody ever see this there ?

I'm betting that the residents of the area complained about the added traffic, noise and garbage. Anybody that has fished there at o dark thirty and was waiting in line for the gate to open knows what I mean.
Since and during the covid19 outbreak many public and not so public spaces have been regulated more, closed or posted. The Raritan River was the scene of several pop up parties and as a result the parking areas where closed.
Anyone remember this fiasco?

Sooner or later social media ruins everything.
Keep posting those brag pictures with the location of the catch and see what happens to your spot.

The state should take Merrill off their stocking schedule. Do you think they will

I'm still trying to figure out why Newark Watershed gets stocked. Rules have been in place there for a very long time, yet no one seems to complain, why is that ?

Like in the parking lots or out on the damns?

Just another bad thing that the sportsman loose out on in this state.
Many other places in this state having the similar problems with limited access or roads shut down just when the hunting/fishing seasons are in prime time.

Just hope this isn’t the start of things and they start looking to do this elsewhere also.
