Garden State Trout

Nice to see you posting!!!!

Nice! I gotta get back up this year. Also, how is 12 fish in 2 days slow??? LOL

He taught me the ways Jedi Nymphing........

Does anyone has info on why this bloom is harmful to people and they say stay out of the water?

My guess is it would legally depend on where you are standing when you land the fish. In the KLG, let it go. General reg water, keep it if you want. Same would apply to walking through the KLG with a fish on a stringer you caught in general water, a CO would still argue that you cannot prove you did...

Smallies are always a nice surprise! Although you usually think you have a trophy trout until you realize its just an 8" smallie, they fight so hard!

I have to try and make it to one of these this year. I just had a couple rods delivered that were ordered over 4 years ago. Dennis Menscer actually has some rods i am interested in as he builds some true medium action rods.

I just put the order in for a nice little 4wt from Ron

Looks like a great time-I am hungry and thirsty just looking at the beer and the pig on a spit. Its amazing that brook trout live in that pond-is it deep and spring fed?

Yea, Ronbo built the pond since there was a spring on his property and its 10-12' deep. Stays nice and cold all yea!

It will also be better for spawning purposes, assuming that trout spawn in the SBR. Do we know if trout make redds in the SBR itself, or in tribs that feed in?

Definitely right in the SBR, ive seen hundreds of redds over the years!!

Another year, another BooFest. My second time around this year means I wasnt a rookie and didnt have to get duct taped to chair! More good people, awesome rods and even better food. There was plenty of boo, fish, pig and beer to go around. I got to meet the famous Dennis Menscer and cast some of his...

Well I dont fish saltwater so Im no real help but I would suggest looking at Rio lines. They have specialty lines for just about everything! Their steelhead and nymph specialty lines are fantastic. I have switched all my other lines to them as well. When Rusty Spinner gets back from his drinking wee...

River will be high tomorrow!! Already climbing from today's weather. I'm heading out in a bit. Will report back....

Keep the rains coming!! I almost took a trip to my favorite brookie stream today. Will have to go soon and see how it is.

For nymphing I make my own as it's just a few different diameter monos and some tippet rings for each replacement. For dry flies I use a tapered leader that I buy. So I'm 50/50.

He is sooo talented, he casts standing on his head? Nice fish!!!!

Are they upside down?? They look normal for me on my phone! Haha

As the owner of a fishing forum I should get my ass out there and fish more often but I haven't been out as much as I should. I finally went out and got my first trout of 2019, a nice wild brown from a really small stream that's rather local to me now. In October we moved closer to trout country so ...

That second pic of the undercut bank is MONEY!!! Im sure a few big ones that that bank home! I still havent been out since it warmed up, I gotta change that soon....

I have a vest and wear it occasionally. I have a fanny pack as well, or a small backpack, which I use more. I just load it up with what I will be using that day. The vest hangs in the closet and hold most of fly boxes, that's really its main use. Also, I added a poll for you. Did you see the option ...

I didn't make it out over the weekend as I had other chores to do in the nice weather. Hopefully most of you got out and enjoyed it!

Acadia is on my bucketlist so def post about it!! Is that article available online? The times ive been to Maine have been exclusively for visiting breweries
