Garden State Trout

Got a nj trifecta yesterday morning...1 spawning color tiger 1 fat spring rainbow 1 holdover brown...all fish about 12" , called it a day and was home by noon..

Congrats! This is the best time of the year for trout fishing, imo. BT

tiger trout is 1/2 brook and 1/2 brown, so you only got a 2.5-fecta. And you need to catch a full brookie or another tiger/brook trout hybrid.
LOL
i jk great stuff. Rare to get all three together.

How are those Maverick's? I been with American Spirits, but damn they are pricey! What is a holdover Brown in NJ now? They haven't stocked them for years, or are you club fishing?

Been on mavs for 15yrs now, there cheaper but by no means cheap...no clubs for me, sooo long time holdover, maybe wild but doubt it....most wild browns i catch are impeccably perfect, this guy while very nice ,had a few imperfections....mainly his long ago mangled dorsal...

I'd go bonkers the day i catch three, especially all wild. I think ive only caught two stocked brookies ever, and yep in PA the same day. Didnt find a damn rainbow of course but only browns lol. And thanks
