The water
Musconetcong River (Bloomsbury) is a freestone river in New Jersey, fished for trout, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, panfish, catfish — brown, rainbow, brook. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
