I figured I would try for my annual Naugy skunking today. And i can report that I succeeded in not hooking anything. It is the usual lotsa rises, some noisy splashes, and no fish. I don't know why I fish it. It is one of those rivers I have no confidence in. So a bad day of fishing turned into a hike in waders. I figured I was most of the way there so I might as well get a few pics of the old Rt. 8
And the old Castle bridge.

| I think I started there. I worked my way down hoping some fish got forced down because of fishing pressure. I'm assuming Turtle Rock is the last deep pool before the Power lines. |

. I thought they stopped stocking that section. If it is the pool I'm thinking it is just down from where Spruce Brook comes in. I know the salmon used to be stacked in there. Anyone I ever took there hooked up. I never did. Closest I ever got was standing waist deep in the pool I look down at what I hoped was a rock.
I say to my self "No way is that a fish."
So I tap it with my toe and it swam away. |

That's exactly the section and pool.That pool below Spruce brook with the big rock is turtle rock (on some maps they even say it) They still stock that section.As far as i know they stopped stocking the state forest area in the beacon falls area in the lower section along 8.
I'll PM you with some more specific info.
