Garden State Trout

Off the beaten path? Hence title of took a walk? Bow looks like a fall holdover. The path is beaten well, people are just lazy, was all by myself on a beautiful day in a very popular stretch of river....Walked past all of the over fished and full spots on my way. I am happy people are lazy for once...

Looks like a productive walk! That big bow looks pretty clean/full finned-holdover or club fish? No club fishing for me. I'm a cheap bastard and want to retire one day so I save my money. I walked to where most people won't anymore. I think it was a holdover fish, fought very well for a big bow in ...

Took a walk yesterday. It was a good one. Many fish to hand,this was the best one. And the morels are starting here as well. Good times.
Don't know why that picture posts twice. I'm only showing one

If anyone knows where Five Maples is on the lower Musky, then you would want one of these flies for that stretch of river. I always find (and remove) empty cans of corn. It's like a religion in that spot for reasons I don't know. Maybe it's just one angler leaving his empty corn can every time, but...

What ever happened to "fly" fishing"? We are supposed to be representing aquatic insects in all stages of life, not a canned corn kernel, I mean, I am even against egg flies and squirmy worms. Fur and Feathers only, maybe some carpet material....Ya'll should go back to powerbait and worms... :D :D ...

There is something written on the handle of that net, can anyone make it out?

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.

And they drive a strange hatchback.

I'll go if my wife lets me. usually this wouldn't be an issue but there are extenuating circumstances right now. I will bring 3 boo rods if I can make it. No one is allowed to touch or even look at them...

Best wishes Jim.

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'm in Glen Gardner as well, second street...

Is it for sale. :D Does property ever sell for it's assessed value? It always sells higher, no? It depends when it was assessed. There are towns that are not assessed for 30 years and they just change the rate. Some towns assess every year and it is close. That makes sense. I have lived in the same...

If the owners look at this thread they may ask millions

This property is only valued at $10,400 and annual taxes a measly $247/year. Shouldn't be too hard to purchase and allow public access.

Hmmmm, investment opportunity, buy the parcel and put in a pay to park system.

This ain't Montana, and that isn't $3 bridge.

Damn straight this is NJ and it'll be $15 bridge!

If people are worried about lawsuits, I really can't blame them for preventing parking. Now the public has lost the access from the north side road down to the handicap pool parking area and Hoffman's. There are what room for 5 cars at the northern parking area? This is touted by the state as one o...

Not faulting the property owner here, got to do what you got to do, but isnt that spot a state stocking point? and please correct me if I'm wrong, but was the state stocking points on private property brought up a few years back and basically if the state was stocking the area and no private proper...

Let me steer Raritan Headwaters Association to see if they can get Green Acres funds to buy it and preserve it. It can't be built on anyway.

Please do that...Know that I know, I will trip and fall and sue them..
