Garden State Trout

Thanks for the info Rusty. I should be heading up to the WB in a couple of weeks, hoping mid July is less wet and flows are perfect for wading.

I fished it also this morning. Water was flowing and yes, off colored. I landed and released four on an a bugger, missed a few others, nothing like yours though. Perhaps stocked by a club?

Thanks all for the updates.

How far back is the down tree, room to pull off and park, don't mind walking? That is where I was planning to go.

Anyone pass the Musky, FB or SB this morning? Just wondering if they are up and chocolate, guessing they peaked by now. Was hoping to get out on the Musky tomorrow morning. If not looking good, will stick to wild head waters.

Isn't Gronsky's below the Clairmont stretch?

I've been fishing a yellow body stimulator and doing well with it.

Appreciate the replies. I typically stick to the smaller streams, will tackle the "branches" if the flows allow safe wading.

If so which streams and how was the activity. Planning to head up soon for my first trip this season.

Four or seven foot tapered furled leader with tippet ring, two to four foot tippet, situation dependent.

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.
