Re: rod wear ?

If maintained and not kept out in the elements except when fishing I wouldn't worry about it. Plenty of 100+ year old greenheart and cane rods with a lot of mileage being regularly fished out there. My brother has a 30+ year old graphite rod he uses regularly. Tons of old Fenwick and Phillipson fibe...

Re: Big Flatbrook no kill zone

The entire river system was flowing heavy, went from 30 cfs to 1000 overnight down at the gauge. Too bad they couldn't have safely stocked it then, at 1000 cfs those fish would have spread way out. Would have made for even better holdover fishery. I don't think hatchery fish would have survived in ...

Re: leaves drive me insane

Well, as I stated in my previous post - "yet". Went out yesterday and the leaves were bad, gave up on a few runs as each cast was a leaf. In the end it worked out, caught few and lost a few.

Re: Big Flatbrook no kill zone

They dont stock that area as much as their is plenty of natural producing brook trout in that area. They usually throw more stockies down from the bridge into general regulation area. the brookies was probably hiding out from the limited stockies they did throw in there thou :lol: :lol: Which bridg...

Re: DC and VCB

Above the village is better than below. That being said last time I was there the downfalls across the stream were really tough to deal with with. Sandy and other wind events took down a lot of the tall trees. It got real bad at one point and I turned around, that was the last time I was there. I do...

Re: DC and VCB

Haven't been to either in a few years. I stay away from DC during the prime hiking season, which is most of the year - LOL, and weekends. As for VCB I always parked at Millbrook Village and fished from there. The Glen is crowded with hikers and fisherman. Need to find a more secluded spot to park an...

Re: Alright, which one of you forgot to do a rain dance??

Looks like trout country is getting some decent rain. More importantly, it looks to be a steady rain over a few days which is better for soaking in compared to fast hitting storms that flash flows. Nope, rain is done in NJ trout country already and it doesn't look like there's any more coming when ...

Re: Wild Brook trout

This thread got me motivated to give it another go. As has been typical for many years now, nothing but Fallfish and Sunfish. Grabbed one of my softer Tenkara rods with a dry fly and hit the streams headwaters. Had to switch to a black Kebari. The dry was getting hammered, and I got tired of drying...

If this is the stream I think, those trout were reestablished once I thought with a different strain. I could be wrong but I thought that is what I read.
Yep
