The other is on Ozone Ave in Verona where the
Verona sewerage discharges and people have caught some trout in there along with big carp (true shit eating fish). What a guy I am giving away the secret spots of the Peckman River. I live in the Verona/Cedar Grove area and will not
insult fly fishing by fishing it, therefore I share the secret spots. Again, it spillover fish that do not survive although at the sewarage discharge they may because the water is cleaner than the river water and more moderate temps.
This is only a 30 foot stretch of water. Have fun and bring your rubber gloves in case you hook a turd.

I grew up in Cedar Grove. I used to ride my motorcycle over the RR bridge above Devils hole. That was always scary because there were missing ties.

I would never think about fishing that river. To many days spent walking along the banks going home from school.
