Garden State Trout

I hit the Black River yesterday. What a beautiful stream.

The river changed a bit since I'd last been there: many fallen trees now cross the stream, forming numerous new pools that hadn't been there the last time I fished it.

Not many leaves down yet, so finding open water was pretty easy.

I managed a few rainbows, all on BH Prince nymphs #14. I also hiked up Trout Brook but couldn't find any wild ones; perhaps next time. All in all, a great day to be alive and out on the stream.

I made a few trips there in the late spring this year and did very well, caught some small wild browns too

The Black heats up fast once warmer air temps settle into the region. Spring is a good time imx. Glad to hear about the wild browns, too.
