Re: Return to a favorite...Van Campens 8/5
Losing loved ones is never easy - may time and tight lines heal provide their healing balm eventually. Van Camoens used to be a favorite spot until an idiot ranger chain sawed through the tree the used to dam up the upper falls pool. I have some great memories - from catching naked lesbians going at...

Re: WTS surprise tenant
I wholeheartedly agree that eels are a prime eating fish. They are great in stews, fried and grilled. They really come into there own when smoked - they have a lot of oil plus solid white flesh around easy bones. The oils and the skin helps to keep the meat really moist - I'll eat smoked eel over sm...

Re: Nymphing - going to the dark side
My last few outings have involved me suckily thrashing the water in vain with dries (using attractor patterns and terrestrials given no visible rises or hatch activity) and being spurned by almost every fish.

Re: Lamington River Pottersville-Bedminster
Speaking of this stream and fishing being a blood sport... In the mid-nineties when I was a recent immigrant and just beginning to fish for trout here in NJ I caught and couple of really silver brown trout in that stream.

Re: Introductions!
I used to be a regular on the old NJTrout board (shout out to RobTF, MCR, the Martalus twins and JohnW) and seeing that implode was sickening to witness. 10 years on it is time to move on. I have a 13 year old daughter who will be starting High School in Fall so I haven't fished all that much over t...
