Any further details on the fence removal??I think the intension was to copy the planting work done on upper echo lake....In that case the shoreline will become almost inaccessible....If the fencing and plantings are to keep the geese from walking out of the water and onto ppls lawns, than why put the fencing on the ENTIRE perimeter?? maybe they will take it down on the opposite side, adjacent to the woods and ball fields....

taught myself to bass fish at that place in the late eighties and early nineties..
My folks still live in unioin county, moved out almost 20 yrs ago so the fishing I do there is limited to when I visit them....hope it all gets straightened out fer the kids fishin derby

Received a reply to my phone call to the parks dept on thursday of last week that they would be coming down starting this week.

Thanks Union County Parks.

Eddie said it best when he told me when I moved here that there are some very interesting things about Union County fishing. I caught my biggest Union County bass in the absolute last place you would ever expect there to even be a bass. I've caught my 10 biggest carp in Union County, all within 10 minutes of my house. I take hikes with my wife and find fishing holes I didn't even know were there. It's definitely good to have all these parks around when you don't have time to make a day out of it.

Glad to hear the fences are down and that there are still some golden boys left in there. I love that place in the summer.

The park is looking better than ever, water looks great. Couple floods, hopefully not causing damage, and the pond will be back to normal. Any idea if the state put anything back in after it was refilled. Can't remember if this conversation already took place. Lots and lots of fish in UC indeed. People of Cranford and UC do a great job of keeping that park clean. Keep up the good work. Mark, the bigguns will be in there again very, very soon. Carp=NJ STEELHEAD!!!
