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: A PSA about your PSA

Great advice. Get you annual physical, get a PSA, and get a colonoscopy for those over 50. Don't let pride or fear get in the way of staying healthy. I've had too many people close to me pass cause they ignored things out of fear or pride or whatever goes through peoples heads.

Anyone going out today, streams should be flowing nice after this rain :shock:
Yup. Don't forget your diamond sinkers, flows are robust!

Nice of you to post the find, hopefully the owner frequents this forum. Any fish?
Got the big ole skunk.

I think I should have downsized my flies.
Yep go small 22 to 18 this time of year nymphing. Egg patterns produce well in the Winter months.

Re: she's going down for the count

I might actually have to return to fishing the Pkill. I haven't done so in years, just not my preferred water type. Maybe taking out the dams will change my mind.

Re: Seeing any redds?

How have flows been? Have they been too low to build redds? Or could the redds be in tributaries to these streams? Flows are good for this time of year. There's a possibility of some heavy rain to start the weekend as well depending upon how the coastal storm tracks. Temps have dropped significantl...

Re: Seeing any redds?

Not I but I've made a conscience effort not to fish any streams with wild reproduction the last 2 weeks. I'll f with the stockers and give the wild ones time to do their deeds for the rest of the month. I'm in the minority and still wish they had closed seasons on streams with repo.

Re: rockafellow property on the SBR

I go through that area a couple times a week on my way to Pennsy for work. I never really considered fishing it, is it more smallmouth/warmwater fishing?

Re: stringer culling etiquette ?

Intentionally killing fish and not consuming them is wanton waste and illegal. If I'd saw that I'd have ripped the guy a new a-hole (cause he is one), wtf kind of sportsman did he think he is culling stringered fish.

Re: Apps for weather and flows

My golfer friends recommend WeatherBug app. It's easy to use and gives you lightning strike data in real time (important to me cause I venture off the beaten path and have gotten caught in storms I couldn't see coming due to heavy foliage). Nice radar feature as well.

Re: Who here center pins ?

Not me, saw too many guys doing this while steelhead fishing and was completely turned off to it. Pinning to get a 100 yard drift while others are trying to fish just seems rude to me. The pinners didn't seem to care if you were there fly fishing or spin fishing below them. no fishing etiquette fro...

Re: Bamboo rod repair

Only local to NJ rodmakers I know of are Rob Smith, Pentalux rods, you can find him on Facebook, don't know if he does repair work. Otherwise I'd try Art Weiler out in Kunkletown, PA.

Re: The dog days of summer are upon us

I've kayaked a few NJ reservoirs and picked up tons of panfish on my 7 ft 3 wt. If you like cheap thrills, and don't want to get arrested, it's hard to beat. :lol: I tried to wade fish a local reservoir on Wednesday, had a few short takes, the weeds were a killer though. Also found out my waders ha...
