Garden State Trout

I was lucky enough to have the day off on May 1st and enjoy the awesome weather. I grabbed my Sage fly rod and was off to one of the rivers. River flow was perfect, water temp was 48 at 9:00am. A nice caddis hatch came off the river starting around 2:00pm. Only saw one trout taking the caddis off the surface and I was able to fool it with an elk hair caddis fly. Landed 9 other rainbows all on nymphs biggest was just over 16". Awesome day to be out on the river!!!

Here are some photos I took before releasing the fish.

Beautiful pics and nice Trout. Looking at the make up of the stream bed from the pics I can guess at the stream but will refrain.

It was a great day on the river. Saw a few fisherman parked in other areas as I was driving but I did not see another person the entire time I fished. Lots of fish...Not a lot of fisherman... Just the way I like it!

Very Nice

Nice job. Good looking fins on some of those 'bows.

Great Nice Bows
