Current flow and water temperature

The nearest USGS gauge is on another water, 5.5 km away: Shabakunk Creek at Sylva Lake Dam at Ewingville, NJ. Its reading is a hint for the area, not this stream's own flow.

Check before you fish. Access, stocking and rules come from New Jersey's own data and can be out of date. Posted signs and landowners' wishes come first, and private land needs permission. You need a valid fishing license.
