Garden State Trout

Nice work with the temp taking.....should always be the first thing you do at waters edge, no matter the season....unless of course you had too much coffee on the way there...

Well back to work today😭 Overall gr8 trip...nice cool temps the first few days...didnt really get hot until sunday....spinner falls were pretty epic with march brown spinners by evening and iso spinners early morning....Saturday evening threw a curve with vast amounts of coffin flies!!!didnt see eve...

Departing after work to trout town u.s.a....wed to wed sounds like a long trip but i know itll be over too quickly...
Is anybody else heading north for the overcrowded holiday weekend??

Nice report!! Ty

Without anything for scale, it looks decent sized...maybe 8-9"..? trophy

that would be enticing if someone would bring the hot dogs & hamburgers ;) Ill bring the beer..... No matter the weather, its always good drinking weather! we'll get arrested for bringing in beer. But as suggested I can bring in some weed now :lol: :lol: :lol: Just dont bring it in a plastic bag🤣😂🤣

Hopefully we can get a confirmation that the lot is open. As we know, it’s busy on the slowest of days. I’m hopeful the cool nights will keep the temps fishable, but as Joe said, crazy we have to talk about this in May!! Unfortunately the temperature function for the gauge is off now. I have it on ...

would the pools all be on that side of the old platform ? Did a five minute down and dirty. In no way what a regular design looks like :D The old dive platform remains in the river.

I cannot believe for the life of me how many people do not practice CnR along with posting pics like they do: https://www.njwoodsandwater.com/forums/topic/55579-nice-day-to-play-hookie/ I am actually disgusted by this.... Its the exact reason for the per day limits, so guys like these dont take 20 ...

What's the context? So far I can tell they are little sloppy. Enjoy fishing cheap fly combos and may be a hunter with a baby, or they shit themselves often. They shop at Ramsey and celebrate 4/20. They also like to fish poppers on the fly for bass. Good eye!! I had to re-look at the pic to see all ...

Sorry to hear about the loss of access. Isn't the bridge right there bordering the property. State most likely throws them off the bridge, if they didn't they will now. Good thing I only fish the KLG in the winter months if I go. Haha...thats the one and only time of yr that ill fish there....if no...

I don't think I've fished on opening day in 20 years but I live close to the South Branch in the Long Valley area and I drove by and noticed there wasn't a single person out so figured what the hell, lets give it a go. It was a waste of time. I threw a few cast but only fished for about 5 minutes. ...

Ur a lost cause...my last post was a compliment on ur previous...
