I just got invited to go camping at Driftstone campground this weekend in Mt. Bethel PA below the gap. Just wondering if it's worth towing the boat to fish or is the river still chocolate? Thanks!

I just stopped at the Welcome Center at the Gap 3 hours ago to take a.............well, you know. It was brown. The river that is.

I saw it from the lambertville bridge today. Flowing nicely, still brown. Saw quite a few people fishing from shore and a couple from boats.

Still muddy in Lambertville area this morning.

Fished it yesterday at the Gap. Cleaned up a lot from three days ago but still very stained. Tuesday or Wednesday it was absolutely coffee colored. A few more days and it should be OK to fish.

Thanks for all the updates guys. We had a fun weekend at Driftstone, highly recommended. We mostly just floated, paddled, and cruised the stretch between Portland and the campground(4 miles). I did manage to drop an anchor and soak some baits for a half hour to get this river serpent. Haha....called it quits and went back to beer cooler after that.
