beaver pic

6/1/2017 A beaver swam across my Carnegie Lake, NJ, fishing spot Friday evening. I caught 8 white perch, 6 bluegills, a brown bullhead and a green sunfish on a 1/32 oz jig on 2 lb test line. The 13" catfish found hard on my ultralight spinning outfit. I also landed an 8.75 lb common carp and musk turtle on my homemade corn meal bait. That's 47 carp and 14 turtles that I caught this year. They love corn meal.

The master of Carnegie Lake, nice report. Beavers also around the dnr canal?

Any time you see a wet beaver you are way ahead for the fishing day, it's good luck!

Yes there are ...my daughter followed one swimming up the canal for 15 minutes ... He turned around when he encountered a racoon on the bank.

This was a few miles up from Carnegie where quakerbridge road meets the canal.

Haven't seen them yet this year but there are a couple in the millstone river here in east windsor near my house
