Re: The dog days of summer are upon us

Mother nature keeps vexing me, I want to hit the D for smallies but each time I've had a window to make the drive it rains like a beast and blows everything up. I might have to resort to local ponds and do some exploring on non-trout waters that are local.

Re: walking in the river

must be a PIA to deal with cold feet in the winter while fishing. i have been lucky so far to have not had any problems with cold feet. fingers get a bit cold once they get wet but my fingerless 100% ragg wool gloves keeps them nice and warm. Real PITA, I used to be great, never really to cold. Had...

Re: walking in the river

The Simms G4 was honestly a good boot. the only draw back is they are heavier then the rest. Weight is a big thing when your walking in them for some distance :( To be honest I have a pair of Cabelas lightweights that I really like, I had them before and switched to the Korkers cause I fell in love...

Korkers, not surprised, mine didn't hold up well at all. I'm a 2 time loser with them. I'll be switching brands.

Re: Fishing Emergers Question

I haven't fished emergers before and I have a few questions. First what pattern would you recommend as a good general emerger for the NJ rivers? Second how should I fish it? While swinging the nymph worked I do not feel it is the best way. Should I tie the emerger pattern as a dropper off a big dry...

Re: A huge wild brown...

That park gets an insane amount of traffic. The creek is pretty much pounded daily by hikers, dogs, and rock throwing kids. All of which I'm sure make the fish ultra spooky.

Re: Unnamed Brookie WTS

These responses are making me think back to the 'Boofests from years ago. Drossi, Rollcast, and whoever else out there with a bamboo rod--let me know if you want to hit a stream together. Let's do it. I'm in Glen Gardner, so most trout streams are near me. I am.in Glen Gardner as well..Second Stree...

Re: Sulphurs

I also ran into March Browns last night too. Only one-off risers, nothing consistent. The wet fly fishing was superb though. Just what one needs after a tough work day. :)

Re: My 1st brookie in about 10 years

My favorite river is still the Bushkill even after exploring alot of the northern part of the state I have a real soft spot for it as well. There are better Pocono streams but that one just seems to check a lot of the boxes as far as ascetics for me. The pine trees, the cabins, the tannic water...

Re: Unnamed Brookie WTS

Went there last night cause mostly everything close to me is too high for my liking for fly fishing. Well it had great flows but alas I took the skunk, not even one of the abundant fall fish wanted to come out. I'm going to reach back out to F&W to see if they will get to electro fishing it this yea...

Re: water levels

SBRR over 1500 CFS in High Bridge-how much rain did y'all get?? Alot. were talking up to 6 inches in certain parts of the state. Most local rivers are blown out rite now. You got that right, even the feeder streams are hammering flow. This weeks stockies will be moved all over the place boding well...
