Garden State Trout

Nice fish. I fished the FB Saturday morning. Water was brown and moving, wasn't expecting it to be so high, must of received more rain then projected. Managed six, a couple were nice size. When the sun came out late morning I saw a few Hendrickson coming off. Not enough surface activity to switch fr...

Thank You for the replies. Planning on a trip in the next few weeks. Only own felt soles.

Has NY banned felt wading shoes?

Did you find it stocked?

As for myself I was working around the yard, best to get it out of the way ASAP. More time for fishing during prime bug season.

Thanks all for the replies. I was thinking our streams may be to shallow under normal conditions, needed others thoughts experiences before investing in a sink tip line. Need to sleep on it. I have a spare reel, may be worth the investment for the Upper Delaware. I see some really inexpensive sink t...

Do you use one? If so on which streams and how do they work?

Just wondering if truly useful for fishing streamers on Jersey streams.

I was impressed with the high end Chota waders I saw at the show in Edison, and they won't break the bank. The Hodgeman H4 and H5 waders were also nice with reasonable prices, especially if you shop online and know the size you need. The new Orvis lightweight waders were also nice, higher price but ...

Thanks for sharing. Did you get them on top or down below?

Nice pics, you did well. Thanks!

Saw LBS and Beatis on the Musky yesterday. The warm temps got them popping for a few days anyway.

Fishing or surveying? Haven't been to Musky or any of the "larger" NJ streams since the rains blew them out. If fishing any luck?

I was on a small WTS stream Sunday. Saw midges and nothing else in the air.

Most likely waders. My current set is still fine, but not sure will last the season. I do need a packable lightweight wading jacket. I like the one offered by LLBean but they don't have my size in stock anywhere. I have time, if it doesn't come into stock i'll probably get the Simms or Patagonia. Wh...

The show blew its chance to fix the first year's layout which EVERYONE complained about last year (and now again this year). The stupid casting pond needs to be jammed up against the wall and out in the middle of the flow of foot traffic. Just like it was in Somerset They set everything up the exac...

I was there Friday as the doors opened, hate the weekend crowd. Always a good show, lots to see and buy, which I did (buy) little of, only stocking up on the few essentials. I primarily use Tenkara gear so there is little I need, and I did adopt the minimalist approach of Tenkara. That being said I ...

Nice pics, sounds like a fun day. Which stream?

Happy New Year to the GST community . Hope everyone tight lines for 2019

And the same to you!

Nice picture, thanks for sharing.

Not sure if it's me. Your pics are not visible, this post and your other.

Deep and slow.

Cappy - Cant say for sure it was.. If it was only 6", it was a wild brookie or brown. State doesn't stock anywhere near that small a size of rainbow. Unless it was one of the hatchery's famous "sunbows" :lol: By that, I mean some of the genetic mutants that survive to be stocked that look more like...
