Garden State Trout

Given the state official position of never stocking/rearing Brookies, is there any hope of changing this by petition or by getting Brookies stocked from somewhere else? I know it’s probably hopeless, but I’m a bit pissed as I’ve heard through the FB grapevine that this is simply a money play. Thoug...

Safe journey to ya

I agree with otters, also GBHs. I see many more of them on the FB than other rivers in NJ. Three years ago on the FB I watched four otters hunting and catching fish for at least 15 minutes before they moved on. A number of years ago there was a study done on the FB to determine why the holdover and ...

Ended up fishing the FB before the storm hit. I did well with streamers.

A few sulphurs on the Flatbrook yesterday. Some caddis and a March Brown or two I saw a few pop off last night but alas the river was hammering high and the color of weak coffee. Nice. We need another day or two of no rain to get the freestones back to fishable levels. I haven't fished in NJ in two...

I hit up a WTS this morning. Yes they were hatching, not in great numbers though. No risers, however I did catch a bunch on top with an x-caddis. I didn't have Sulphers in my bag.

They will hit anything that looks buggy - LOL

I caught a bunch of Brookies last week on a x-caddis, when nothing was hatching.

The line is as new. I installed it on a spare spool, however I never used it. I nail-knotted a piece of Maxima Chameleon to the tip with a perfection loop. Arguably the best line made, and no longer made for fishing unweighted streamers with 3 to 5 weight rods in small to medium water. Also a great ...

Random question. Is a picture of the front and back of a license on one's phone legal?

No, not for NJ currently. But many states that is okay.

Went out this morning, plenty of Trout, no bugs.

I tried a WTS Saturday morning before the winds got bad, no bugs and no trout.

Last time out was two weeks ago, no stoneflies.

Good luck with the sale. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a Douglas rod about 7 years ago. I took it to Labrador and caught brookies, whitefish, northern pike, Atlantic salmon (LL), and lake trout on a 7 weight. I have also used it for largemouth and smallmouth bass and bonefish to name a f...

Nice! I caught a few from the Musky yesterday.
