Meet older gentlemen name Matt on the water the am👍. I was fishing up in the upper ramapo river. Had a few work assignments up that way. So I had a few hours to kill. What better way then to fish it away. Matt is a real nice guy. He even spoke with me when I had my spinning rig in my hands 🤭😂 We spo...

Nice. I was on the Musky yesterday, could not find a fish. the fished are located in more of the bridge stocking points that have deeper pockets & flowing water. Not every entire stocking points was stocked this fall due to water levels. I had to travel to several spots slightly down river due to f...

Hey Troutman, if you got bopped in the head by an empty Mountain Dew can today while fishing near that bridge, it wasn't me

Fished the musky today. water levels are low. But fishable. Gotta look for those deeper pockets for the fish. I even managed to get a native fish today

niceeeeee to see a brookie again

1 of 2 trout caught this am. The area I was fishing was packed with people . not to many was catching . alot of powerbait users

Its part of fishing. Anytime you fish with any tackle. whether it be fly or spin. barbless or barb. The risk is there for killing a fish. The only way to enjoy fishing without any lethal outcome is to watch them in the water with binoculars

There is no risk any fish deaths due to temperature. I fished my last days up in that area for the season. As there will be trout...

what type of fish are you looking for . Im familiar with that section

Anything a fly rod can catch would be acceptable to me.

The green you saw is the last of the bottom release water after a long, hot summer coming out of the Cannonsville dam on the West Branch above Deposit.

Thank you sir......

Thanks,

Took a quick trip up to Hancock NY after I fished the Upper Delaware West Branch in Deposit today. Scored some browns. Nothing to brag about. Average size was between 14-18 inch's. The water had a green stain to it today. Looked like peas soup. So I traveled into Hancock as the water temps has coole...
