Raritan river float 10/27:

[AndyS]

Floated from Robert St. to the 2nd 287 crossing. I had high hopes of bagging something nice but it turned out to be a scenic ride with some excercise. Ended up throwing mostly small stuff due to the amount of leaves in the water. Saw all kinds of birds, must of been a Blue Heron and a Loon for every half mile of river. I got down below Bound Brook and I got to watch a huge Bald Eagle, he was fishing also. He would hover above the river, dive down close, then go back around again, the eagle did this a few times. Seems he had no better luck than myself today. Floated from 7am to 1 pm, steady rowing toward the lower end since the North East wind was against me. Great beautiful water and river, a place Fish and Game refuses to admit even exsists when it comes to stocking.
