Garden State Trout

Guides out west use homemade concoctions... Mostly Lighter fluid and Abalene... I was skeptical but tried it and it works great. Fish don't care in the least about the smell.

Bought up access sites and then built the reservoirs and made them bottom controllable release to create a tailwater. Good winter mid...

I also got LMB on the pike flies with Mono and I am not sure this would have happened with wire. This is the stuff that Barry Re...
