Rain definitely helped!

Big difference in the stream levels per the USGS site compared to when opening day rolled around.

I fished the Musky a couple weeks ago and it was alarmingly low.

We could still use another week or rain like we had this week...last night it POURED by me, so I'd imagine the river levels are on the rise today if up north got equally heavy rain

The other day NJ.com said we were 6 inches behind where we should be rain wise..... this does help if only a little.....

The Paulinskill in Sussex County is very high.
 
And much muddier than usual, obviously.
 
Saw lots of guys out  fishing in the rain today as well.
