Re: Annual West Branch Delaware trip early May
Rusty...How was the fishing? Will be heading up this month, just not sure when, may need to travel for work. It was tough all of last week due to high flows and cold water. The Beaverkill finally got above 50 F for several days and the Hendricksons poured off each day, but the trout never rose or s...

Re: Lamington River Pottersville-Bedminster
I am from that area. It is kind of the transition between trout water and smallie water-yes there are lots of chubs too. There are wild trout, but not super high density from what I can tell. There are several brooks with wild trout that enter into the river in that area. I have caught some big wil...

Re: SBRR wild browns marking coloration
1) that brown is 110% from the Musky Trout Hatchery. All browns from that hatchery look identical. 2) there are four clubs along the SBR and all stock trout from Musky Trout Hatchery with approved Division stocking permits. 3) while the Hackettstown state hatchery is now warmwater save for growing l...

Re: Casting lesson
Or, go out on your lawn and practice like everyone did in the old days !! Which is exactly where I learned all of my bad habits! :D Save yourself a lot of aggravation and have someone skilled show you. It could be a friend, a guide, or a TU group, but don't just flail around or you will likely lear...

Re: Casting lesson
Book a half day guided trip through Shannon's Fly & Tackle Shop in Califon. The guides will spend 4 hours getting your casting and drifts down so that you can get out on your own and find success. Best $130 you will ever spend. Many of our Trout Unlimited chapters hold intro to fly fishing classes, ...

Re: This tick rolls with a posse!! WTF?!
The DEP has actually gone door to door where this outbreak has occurred to warn folks and to see who has Lyme's disease in that area that might have come from this foreign tick they just found late last year before winter.

Re: Annual West Branch Delaware trip early May
Bringing the sit on top fishing kayak to fish the West Branch. Beamoc should be wadeable soon or by Wednesday at the latest. Floating in drift boats Thursday and Friday. Either way, an 18th annual trip with 20 good buddies will be an excellent time even if I forget my rod, reel and waders.

Re: Dark trout?
I've seen Pequest bows much darker than even that. It's just normal color variation.

Great to see some old, familiar faces! Hooli, your fishing days will come back, but you're in the diaper changing mode for a few years so enjoy it while you can because before you know it, your kid will be working for Bacala and then headed off to college! :) I'm Brian Cowden, co-owner of Trout Scap...

Re: Bass Topwater
I'm looking to spend a lot of time this summer chasing bass and pike with my fly rod. For some reason I have only used my fly rod for trout and whenever I would take my kayak out for bass and pike I would only bring my spin gear. Gonna change that this year! You'll want something bigger than a 4 or...

Re: Bass Topwater
This long winter has me thinking of one thing; bass crushing topwater at night! One of my favorite ways to fish is for largemouth at night on topwater plugs! There is nothing better than the silence and darkness of night interrupted by the crashing sound of a big bass gulping down your lure at nigh...
