How many of you remember this time of the year when Efingers on Main Street hung all those Deer out on the sidewalk during the month of December Deer Season back in the day? As a kid back then those Deer were as big as Moose in my eyes. How about you?
I bet the animal rights group Peta would have none of that today without protesting it. Boy has the world changed!

Remember the 55" record green eel mounted on the wall to the left of the registers? It's still up in the new Efingers on Union Avenue and is located on the front wall above the fishing department. It was caught in 1929 on Bartle's Creek which is a tributary of the north branch of the Middle Brook in Martinsville back behind the reservoir. It's amazing those young eels made it from Raritan Bay all the up into the Watchung hills before the Middle Brook was dammed. I wonder if dam removal is a possibility now that the two old Bound Brook Water Company reservoirs are not used for water and are on county park land?

never knew thats were that eel came from
also had lamprey eels up that far too in the early 70s
Bartle's or Bartel's Creek is a tributary of the north branch of the Middlebrook which was dammed to make the new reservoir visible from Chimney Rock Road. The creek is along Bartle Lane which comes off Washington Valley Road west of Chimney Rock Road in Martinsville. That's the road to the back end of reservoir for sneaking a swim.
Tom's Brook is the east branch of the Middlebrook which was dammed to form the old reservoir and Buttermilk Falls with it's good if dangerous diving hole.
