Garden State Trout

I fished Pt. Mnt. this morning - 5:15- 6. It was off, but fish were rising and chasing wooly buggers (black). I was down at the lower end. Usually I park closer to Penwell but the turn-off parking lot (the old homestead one) is blocked by a fallen tree from the other night. Does anyone (Rusty) know ...

I think the bridge is called Gronsky's bridge .where's Jeff k when we need him?

I fished the upper section, right below Budd Lake in the reserve. I did not see many good holes that brookies could hide in. Just when it starts to open it, there are Posted Signs. I turned back. Next, I drove down to where the "Wild Trout" section and caught fish right by that bridge. As I ventured...

Does that mean that the river above Long Valley is open everyday, all year?

This may be especially interesting for Rusty S:

The Library of Congress archived their dam projects on trout streams, including blueprints. Pretty interesting if you like trout, history, and/or photography.

My favorite. Took this this evening.

Yeah, I could not face the world with a dubious title. I like the Double Standard when I fish the SBR, so I’ll go with that. We will see. I am still not sure if I’ll be signing up.

It sounds like flies have to be tied on site before the start. I have a travel bag for my tying stuff. I'll just bring it.

The next question is: do I use a mop'n'glo? Or a less effective, but socially acceptable, hare's ear?

I may give the One Fly competition a shot this weekend at the trout fest in Califon. Is anyone else in? Does anyone know the specific rules? Are we tying the fly we will use at the site before the event? Do we need to bring our vices, materials, and equipment? I looked at the FB page and did not see...

I finally retired my 20 year old LL Bean vest. That thing was awesome and carried everything plus 10 beers. I tried different packs but the always felt cumbersome, so I always went back to the musty, moldy, beer vest. This year I got a reddington and love it. I quit drinking so I don't have to worry...

January 25th. 26th, 27th. It's in Edison. Flyfishingshow.com

I fish bellow the Highbridge dam when the flows are high. Easy to access and plenty of fish

I am looking around this area on Google Maps and see a place called "Mayfly Depository" which is a dumpling restaurant. Anyone ever been? Is it a fly fishing chef?

Last month, when these crazy flows sent the rivers up and down, I fished the lower section of the KLG when it was around 400, but clear. I did pretty well considering, but lost many flies on the bottom. Wading was tough, but doable if you are careful. When it went back to normal, I got skunked every...

My cousin, for my birthday, got me some rabbit pelts: "craft grade rabbit pelts." While I appreciate the gift I am wondering if this fur can be used for dubbing or blending dub. It is so soft and silky, its more likely best used in strips for zonkers or streamers. I'll try to post pics, but they're ...

No luck. I was going for bass, but they didn't want my fly. They are in there though.

I'm heading out now. No boat tonight. I'll be there around ten thirty .

I've been out there, but not in a boat...yet. No luck. I can hear fish jumping but they dont want my plugs or zonkers. Anyone want to coordinate a night trip? I'll have to find some lights for the canoe.

Thanks!

Also, can you launch a kayak or canoe at night?

Was hoping to do some night fishing at Spruce Run. Anyone been by? Is it mad low?
