I'm all for C&R for browns or have a minimum size limit of 16" if you must. They are by far my favorite trout and if they are doing well with natural reproduction, let's protect them.

so agree with this!

SBRR and I think I know exactly where

Happened to me at the Muskie on Tuesday, thankfully the family of geese chased him away.

Hi, Yes I did give two flies yesterday and he walked down stream. Are you the guy I gave them too? Did you use them and did they catch any thing? The large one was my own creation and I made it just messing around with the vise. Bill Vance. AKA Bill the mailman That was me and thank you!! I tried t...

Bill - did you happen go give 2 flies to a guy yesterday there?

Thanks RS, was fun to figure it out. Headed back out tomorrow I think.

Have both, prefer the vest.....less movement and easier to get what I need.

Well my cheap waders and Ecco fly rod and reel doesn’t fit that weekend fishermen then! Appreciate the help and totally get the territorial people. There is enough fish for all of us, helping out goes a long way w karma.

No was downstream past Gronsky's and the bridge there. It was OK because it forced me to think and watch what was around me.

When I fished the local BASS circuit we always shared what was working, even when money was on the line. More fun to see people catch fish and enjoy.

And can anyone tell me what kind of nymph that is bc I need to get more at Shannon’s.

Hit a spot Troutman told me to try that was successful in 2020 and did not let me down today! Finally got my new fly rod tip about 2 weeks after I broke it and headed out today. Took about an hour to get casting down, listened to all of your tips and here are the results! Caught 7, lost about 4 more...

Look at Shark River, close to the VFW lodge on Gulley Road. Went there yesterday and plenty of places to fish along with walking paths created by deer and fishermen. Spring Lake is stocked as well if I remember.

3 flies in trees, lost 1 fish, broke the rod tip by being an ass.... overall a success. Thanks for the tips!!

Now I need a drop shot rig set up, met a great guy who helped explain his use of it. New rod tip is on the way from Echo already! No quit in this guy.

Hopefully the fly box picture hits

Hoping you guys can help, headed out to C&R to practice casting and hoping I have some luck. All geared up w new rod & got flies at Shannon’s. Picture is my box of nymphs, any help which to start with? Fishing KLG or the Muskie in high bridge.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Funny you wrote this today, I was at the KLG yesterday and saw a family of 5 fishing about 1/2 mile from the opening (north side). They CLEARLY were keeping what they caught, IF I spoke Spanish I would have said something. Then I took a step back and thought that maybe they needed the fish to eat. T...

Nice Fish Troutman!!

Heading out this week, thanks for the tips!!

Going to try your idea Troutman and hit the lower part next time.

It is good to get out and walk to new spots and fish too..

Thanks all

Took a trip to the Pequest yesterday and it was LOADED with people by the hatchery and south. Took a ride down to Buttsville and found guys drifting salmon eggs. Needless to say I struck out, could not get a handle on where the fish were or it was really hammered there. Any tips on areas from Hot Do...
