Millstone River's Fishery

Here's a link to an excellent article by NJ state fisheries biologist Sean Crouse. The Millstone River is very compelling, and electroshock fishing sure brings some mystery to light, but far from all of it. Also today, Fred Matero informed me that the drawdown of Columbia Lake related to the demolition of Columbia Dam is underway now.

  1. I will miss the weir, fishing the slow water above it from the kayak was great. An amazing diversity of fish in the river. It would be awesome if the shad could recover and open a fishery. Fred

  2. You once told me you fished the Millstone, four or five years ago, I think.
