For trout lures I prefer that panther martin shown above in the smaller size. As well as Mepps spinners size 0 or 1

Size # 0 for spinners is the way to go for trout imo. I rarely use spinners. I use jigs to get trout of all sizes

I've never fished this river, but have plans to in April on some club waters where we're doing a big dam removal project. Looking forward to some new PA water that is just under an hour away from me.

this place is 70 minutes from me . takes me as long to the Ramapo river with slight traffic

Oh so Gore Tex works in waders that we all use but not good for raincoats. Got it.

I have never, NEVER, had a DWR that couldn't be rejuvenated. My 20 year old reddington jacket still works fine (its the zipper that failed). Proper washing and rejuvenating does the trick every time. Ive used the Simms stuff that washes & rejuvenate the jacket for years. But I dont treat every year...

Will be there friday later in the afternoon. Never fished this area before

Im trying to go back out their this Wednesday. Suppose to be the warmest weekday this week. Mite be rain on the weekend. I aint trying to fish it with a cheap Costco raincoat

A true "rain jacket" will be rubberized to fend off any and all rain. That's not what you are talking about, you're talking about Gortex which will hold off some rain, but will eventually get soaked through. Two different animals. I use Simms Guide jacket if there is a brief, light rain, and I use ...

Buy stuff made for being out on a boat in the salt water. That's the jacket I have now blocks the rain great

Anything made by Grundens

Ive been advised by a few guys about that brand. I was thinking about the grundens buoy jacket. read great reviews on it

thanks as always ...

I will have to check on friday if the spinner is still there and report back

Hello anglers, It is sad to say that my Green Simms wading-rain jacket is no longer water resistance. I have treated it many times with the stuff from simms to rejuvenate it. But It no loner works. So my guess it pretty worn out. So its time for a new 1. I was eyeing up a Simms G4 Pro jacket. But I ...
