Nice winter colors on those fish! I need to get off my lazy ass and do some fishing! I also enjoy the winter months for trout. Cold yes, but also very peaceful and easier to find water to yourself.
You spend too much time on the links and brewpubs to be a trout angler.

Re: South Holston/Tuckasegee Rivers

The South Holston holds 5,000 to 7,000 trout per mile, so great fishing. It's a honey hole in winter when our rivers are frozen over largely. I have three buddies that guide there and they are always trying to get me down there. Thats a hell of a fish count!! 7000 fish per mile would also be 1.3 fi...

Re: Traveling with Fly Fishing Gear

Late to the party, as usual. My experience is different. I have had TSA make me check carried on rods. I have had this happen in Newark, and overseas (Ireland). After it the second time it happened, we purchased fishing travel luggage. TSA lists rod holders as approved for carry on. I would print t...

Re: lost rod/reel

I hope it shows up, some people are honest. I got introduced to NJTROUT after finding an expensive outfit while walking the KLG one morning. I put up a sign and the owner contacted me and described the outfit right down to the fly. We met and he shoved a bunch of bills in my hand and would not take ...

If the bottom line is “don’t take shit that doesn’t belong to you” (I agree 110%), the second to bottom line has to be, “don’t leave stuff for scumbags to steal”.

Re: NJ Stockies

Yep, that's why I like throwing streamers. The strikes really get your heart pumping! Throwing streamers is like cheating, you know when you got a strike and most times they hook themselves. It’s like dry fly fishing, the real talen is nymphing. Nah, nymphing is just worm dunking with feathers and ...

Re: NJ Stockies

Fish an articulated streamer like a Sex Dungeon or Drunk & Disorderly which have stinger hooks on the back and your short strike issue nearly disappears for good. I find a lot of NJ anglers fish nothing larger than a size 10 woolly bugger, but don't be afraid to toss a much larger streamer here loc...

You cannot expect places to be open when work is still being conducted, even if you do not see work being conducted.

I believe there is now an app for that, but the phone number still works.

Always take picture, either discreetly or right in their face (depending on your comfort level).

You may not get quick response, but at least they have a record of the violation.

don't sweat the temps wrap then in tinfoil with some butter, white wine salt pepper garlic. yummy
Stocked trout cooked that way taste of butter, wine, salt, pepper and garlic. The stocked trout, if you are lucky, does not add any flavor.
