I was thinking the same thing. Was doing some work near there and decided not to chance it though just to be safe. Shoulda wet a line dammit! River definitely looks good though, nice pics Andy!

I'm a complete hack when it comes to lures !!! Give me live herring in a lake and I can work miracles. Not into worms (sorry Wilson) Settled into using jigs which I am kind of good at and are lots of fun to fish. I seem to catch quite a variety on them and can work them in slow and fast water and can control the speed and action quite well. Fishing is open on the Raritan river below Rt. 206 in Somerville because the state does not stock the lower sections.
