Sounds like fun but a real bad weekend for me.

anybody know how the obstructions are around the island w/ houses downriver of aqueduct park? i couldn't get the boat through there last year, just wondering how it is now

also - does anybody else have GMRS radios? would be nice to have an open channel going to call out fish sizes as the day goes on, and of course for ball busting as required.

Last time I was back there in the beginning of April it was clear.

We launch my room mate's 14' v-hull at both areas regularly with no issues.

I took the recon run yesterday from Aquaduct Park down to Two Bridges on the yak. The run is wide open. I read depths between 2 to 8 ft with no obstructions for boats. The launch is kinda shallow so plan on wet feet if you plan on bringing something on a trailer, I'm pretty sure you'll have to back in beyond the limits of your car doors. The Pompton was running fairly clean, The Passiac is still pretty stained.
