Lower Passaic River- Short Hills area

[Ely]

I fish the Passaic in Chatham, Summit and Berkeley heights often. Mostly because I work in Chatham and its so close. I often get skunked but have pulled quite a few trout, pickeral and even crappie out of there. There are terrific access points and its wonderful to have such a serene place to go to in the midst of suburbia. Wading is easy on this part of the river but shore access is also plentiful.
also, don't overlook the often ignored ponds in this area.
