Re: big flatbrook CFS
The Flatbrook is running 183 cfs this morning which is slightly above norms for today's flows, but very fishable for certain.

Re: big flatbrook CFS
Hi Rusty, When I fished the Flat. no hatches but did see a few caddis flying around also saw two large stoneflies in the air and no clue what color they were. They were probably one inch long and clumsy flying…Went to the Wanaque today and did zip. Had one hit and missed him or her. Wanaque is stil...

Re: big flatbrook CFS
Ahhh, the Wanaque. That was the stream I cut my fly fishing teeth on, unfortunately on the stretch that now lies beneath the Monksville Reservoir. The surrounding woods were filled with grouse too, and I never saw many other guys out there during either persuit. Now that I am far to the south, my r...

Re: big flatbrook CFS
Is there an island in the BFB? - "Start at the bottom of the Island and work your way down". Parts of the Flatbrook are an anastomose system which is a big fancy term for braided channels with "islands" between them. Common where there is heavy beaver activity combined with elevation changes where ...

Looks like that one narrowly escaped death by heron once. Nice one.

Re: musconetcong gorge
Hello Rusty, Just read your comment about the gorge and you are right except you said in our life time. Heck, Rusty maybe in your life time but mine I don’t think so. I am now pushing 88 and now it is all down hill. So all you youngsters out there enjoy the gorge when the dam finally comes down but...

Re: musconetcong gorge
I have fished the Musky George many of times in the past. I fished it last in November 2023. I used to legally access just signing in @ the guard shack. Also used to have a pass to access the trail on that side to fish. But its all be rescinded in the last 3 years. When I fished it in November I tr...

Re: musconetcong gorge

Re: & another biting the dust soon !!!
This has guys all up in arms on Facebook's NJ Trout Fishing page. Claim it's a fly fishing conspiracy (TU) to get the state to end stocking in that area so that it can be wild brook trout only. Also claim opening up the river will allow snakeheads, flatheads, and stripers to have run of the river a...

Re: & another biting the dust soon !!!
I have fished there @ the dam in drought situations. I can actually see the water flowing somewhat @ the base under the dam. So you probably correct it does leak like a sieve. Do you think after the dam is removed will it effect the water level to the bloomsbury dam stretch ? No, it will only impac...

Re: & another biting the dust soon !!!
This dam has been on again, off agan for removal since my second day at TU, some 16 years ago now. The State is using federal Infrastructure Bill funding to remove it and it will take several years once the permits are in to actually dredge it enough to remove this very tall dam. Realistically, I'd ...
