Re: White Perch

Re: McMichael Creek 4-6-23

Used to love fishing there back when I had a PA license! At one point I was able to maintain a NJ, NY and PA resident license until they all caught on :shock:

Re: cold feet ? while wading in the winter ?

Late reply but… Size up! Get a boot a full size bigger and wear only polyester and pure wool. My feel stayed warms for years of steelheading this way. I used a thin polyester sock liner and a single pure wool sock. Don’t tighten your boots too much and you will be good. Also, sound obvious but, keep...

Thank You for 15 Years of GST!!

Hi everyone, 2023 marks 15 years since Garden State Trout was started back in 2008, while I was still just a kid in college drinking Appletinis (long story)… As many members know, I started GST to fill the void after NJ Trout announced that the forum would be shutting down.

Re: Stuck ferrule

The rubber mats used for opening a jar may help. Also try behind your back. Pull straight, do not twist!!

Back Up and Running!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the down time this week! My auto-renew with the hosting service didn't go through so the site was suspended until they got their $$$. Thanks for your patience!

Re: R.I.P. - Jim Holland

To Jim: I am happy to have called you a friend. Even it that just meant hanging around Shannon’s for nearly the last 20 years. Getting fishing advice. Tying flies in the back room. Anytime I drove through Califon and saw your car I knew I could stop in for a friendly chat, grab some flies and catch ...

If I notice the head wrapping on a fly starting to come undone after catching a few, I will put it aside and take it the vise when I get home to glue or re-wrap it. Maybe its not because Im cheap but rather see tying flies as a chore ...

We have two catch and release sections in NJ which means if the conditions (flow and temp) are not ideal for trout survival people should not be fishing. Yet, every summer, we see people fishing and catching/releasing trout destined for a raccoon dinner. Why doesn't NJ F&W close these sections of ri...
