The Musky at this point is raging. They are taking thousands of gallons of water out of Lake Hopatcong, that in turns flows into Lake Musconetcong and the then forms the Musconetcong river as it flows out of there.

Great report going into late June, keep going.

Thanks for the update. For some reason the high fast dirty water didn't effect the trout feeding that day. Strange.
I only wish someone took a video of the fight in that kind of water the channel catfish gave me. I'll never forget it. By the way, she was full of roe. Supper next week.
We went striper fishing the next day and we slaughtered them on live bunker. So now I have striper fillets in my freezer too. See the saltwater report on this web-site. Two good weather and fishing days in a row. Freshwater and saltwater. That's the way to enjoy retirement.

Thanks son, for posting my pride and joy best fighting stream fish ever. How about teaching an electronically challenged old guy how to post pictures?
