AREA FISHED ------------- Byram
WATER TEMPERATURE-- 69-72
FISHING METHOD ------- herring
NOTES --------------------- Fished the past few mornings and have had up to 6 stripers each morning. A double header of 8 pounders on Saturday was hilight so far. Fishing has been great so far for me this year. My friend and I were talking about what an awsome fishery the lake has become due to the involvement of the Knee Deep Club. Ive grown up fishing the lake since the early 80s and it has never been better. Each year it gets better and better. This is all due to the support and work of all the members and sponsors of the club. If its not said enough I would like to thank you for all the work you put into making Lake Hopatcong one of the top fisheries in the state.
