Re: Winter Stockings

Point being if you like stockings , all kinds of stockings , i don't judge , buy some stockings from Shannon's , cause I remember winters when there where no stockings , and they were cold ... PS I see on other boards people enjoying the stockings , I hope they appreciate where they came from .... S...

Re: Winter Trout, Anyone?

If it effects the bugs it effects the fish . Not just talking about emergence , just movement or river migration , bugs move . I'd wait til the warmest part of the day .

Re: nice stocker brown

It's not 100% but what is? But when you see the dots on a brown trout starting to connect closer to the tail , it's usually a stocked fish .

Re: Muddy Water

The pequest hatchery bows are fall spawners so maybe , but they move around for other reasons too . They are forced to spawn in the fall so it fits in with the hatcheries time table . Wild , native rainbows spawn late winter/ spring . It's a whole can of worms but yes the hatchery rainbows in NJ spa...

Re: Bent hooks

Depends where I'm fishing .... In jersey on little wild fish or stocked fish , yea bend it back . But at a higher quality destination with bigger stronger fish , just toss it and tie on a new one . Again this is where the fly tier is rewarded . A tier knows the hook he used and it's quality . You ne...

Re: TMC 518 size 32 hooks wanted

Really hard to get , they no longer make them . I would check eBay , I luckily found a package not long ago , just to have . But years ago I did hook and land a few fish on them . It's a wide gap hook which helps .

The more I think about it. Where can you go that man has not left its mark :?: You can get pretty close in some of the places out west. The Thorofare section of Yellowstone has been called the remotest area in the lower 48, the only foot steps have been from Native Americans, early explorers and ba...
