About this water

The Rockaway River below Boonton Reservoir is a productive tailwater trout fishery that maintains cold temperatures well into summer, supporting both stocked and wild brown trout. The river is accessible through several Morris County parks and offers good fly fishing in its riffle and pool sections. This stretch is popular with local fly anglers seeking quality trout fishing close to the metropolitan area.
