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 But its all be rescinded in the last 3 years.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 ...

Re: Anyone out and seeing bugs hatching yet?

Of course, as I get the bug to trout fish and am feeling near 100% again, it's going to rain another 2"-3" this week after the 1.9" we got here last week. At least it will disperse the fresh stocked bows once the state starts their bridge dumps. I find myself doing nearly all of my trout fishing out...

Anyone out and seeing bugs hatching yet?

I'm sure the LBS are still going strong and it should be an early year for many hatches given the mild, warm winter we had for the most part. Let's hear what you are seeing and doing out there. I need motivation this year just to buy my All Around Sportsman license, by far the latest I have ever wai...

He's teasing me. It's banter in the chat box between us old friends from the internet. I figured out my old password as I had it written down and just now got on NEFF.

Is that NEFF? If so, I somehow lost my auto sign in and have no clue what my password is. Worse yet, I think I used an email when I first joined that I haven't used in 15 years or so. :D

Re: A PSA about your PSA

Who can recommend a doctor or facility near Califon area? Seriously. I got my scrip to get the procedure, but have not pulled the trigger. Fun BS fact - my insurance will pay for it, if I'm 50. I'm not, and so I'll pay for this one. I got the message from Jim, too. My wife and I use places far to t...

Re: A PSA about your PSA

I am 45 and had a physical a few weeks ago. Just based on age, my doctor recommended a colonoscopy. She said while it may not be super pleasant, being dead is also not pleasant for my family. Apparently colon cancer is very treatable if caught early but if left untreated it becomes very deadly. In ...

Re: A PSA about your PSA

So I woke up this past Saturday about one month post surgery with a whole lot of pain in my kidney area. Tried to convince myself that it was gas and this too shall pass, but by midday the pain was all I could focus on and my wife said I was gray in color. So she called my Dr. and spoke with the se...

Re: A PSA about your PSA

I'll be 77 in 9 days :shock: but who's counting. Several treatments were discussed including removal and seeding, with my urologist and with the group at Sloan. Given the small size and location, the reason the first biopsies were negative, all agreed radiation was the correct way to go although th...
