As I sit here wearing my green DEFEND JERSEY t-shirt, I will tell you that my family strolled along the Paulinskill yesterday and that river looked spectactular. While it may be known more for bass, I've certainly pulled a few trout of that stream's pocket water and dry-fly pools. Happy to have honed my angling skills in the Garden State.

I have honed most of my skill of stock trout fishing in NJ. But not to many places offer large wild trout clean waters as other states. Yes while there is a few rivers in NNJ that are semi clean. lets face it NJ is pretty much dirty river's state from the past of massive pollution still effecting it today. Past industry from yesteryears practices have left their marks for future generationBiggerThomas wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 10:15 amAs I sit here wearing my green DEFEND JERSEY t-shirt, I will tell you that my family strolled along the Paulinskill yesterday and that river looked spectactular.

First off. I grew up in the foothills of the Adirondacks and it always amazes me when people refer to upstate as any land north of Yonkers. That is a lot of land to clump into the term upstate. To me, and others who from the Adirondacks or northern tier, upstate is above the Erie Canal/Mohawk River and the rest is downstate or the southern tier. Where I grew up there is a stream called the Cayadutta which when I was a boy with my fishing rod held across the handlebars of my bike, the Cayadutta would flow green, blue or white depending on what color they were dying the leather that day for the glove mills. We would never think of fishing it as nothing could live in it. Now the glove mills are mostly gone and the stream is trout stocked water. The down side is that the thriving city which depended on those factories has shrunk to close to half its size and kids leave the area as there is no work. There are cities all over the Northeast with similar stories. America, from 1700's on, grew on industry which included using and harnessing the waterways. It is also not limited to the Northeast as the recent spill from the Gold King mine in Utah by the EPA will attest. Every state has its pollution legacy to deal with not just New Jersey. So when you leave this "dirty river state" to fish the West Branch please be advised that Deposit NY on the banks of the West branch was founded by the logging industry which is not exactly environmentally friendly.have honed most of my skill of stock trout fishing in NJ.

I referring to chemicals when I state dirty
. The Musky in the past was lined up with industry in the past that polluted the waterways before the epa was established . The lower passiac was the same below paterson, Majority of the water ways shares this story in NJ sadly. Im glad to see alot has changed & improving. But lets face it. Im not going to hand cup a drink out water out of it like I would in Montana, colorado, or washington state. I wish there was more to be done to restore all NJ waterways to its pre- industry eraRe: CBS video on fly fishing's growing popularity during Q-tine

Research is how people find spots. I have no problem sharing spots with other anglers. Isnt this what sites like this are for
. Ive followed other sites that have been more geared towards helping anglers enjoy fishing. Its a shame that society has come down to this type of mentality imo Re: CBS video on fly fishing's growing popularity during Q-tine

That sounds like the Toms, although it had some reds and oranges thrown in as well, and a lot of foam at times.Where I grew up there is a stream called the Cayadutta which when I was a boy with my fishing rod held across the handlebars of my bike, the Cayadutta would flow green, blue or white depending on what color they were dying the leather that day for the glove mills.
I used to have a cabin on the West Branch in Jay, down the road from Betters home.

I grew up in Bayonne; the Newark Bay was our playground. A friend and I kept a small skiff moored at the end of our block and waded out to it. I think the bay has been polluted since the beginning of time.Troutman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 4:45 pmThe ramapo & the pompton river for me as a kid.

Two long defunct paper mills at the bottom of the 42 mile long river is hardly "line up" is it? All eastern rivers suffered from past land use practices. Most NJ trout waters are very clean these days, and the DEP keeps track of the water quality better than most states do. You say NJ water isn't clean but places like Colorado and Montana are pristine? Guess you know very little about mining and its effects on water quality......Colorado has more polluted river miles than anywhere else I can think of due to acid mine drainage. Pennsylvania is also very bad in that area.Re: CBS video on fly fishing's growing popularity during Q-tine

People still buy into the whimsical & enchanting Romanticism of The West. Don't get me wrong--it's beautiful, but it's not wholly prelapsarian as many (esp in the East) might believe. Between the heavy metals from mining, as Rusty mentioned, and the pesticide runoff from agriculture, you'd better think twice about cupping a handful of water. Additionally, even the most "pristine" streams will contain giardia, so drink carefully!

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 backcountry hikers, rangers and research folks. Never saw too many fishing, it is a bit of a walk to catch a fish. There are many other streams/rivers with no one. Never any industry, except tourism, which nowadays is pretty bad. I spent 2 weeks every summer from the early 70's to 2004 out there, one exception for 2 years after the fires of '88. If you ever get the chance, go.The more I think about it. Where can you go that man has not left its mark
