One of my goals for 2018 was to catch a NJ wild brown trout. I can cross that off my list as I managed to land 3 nice little wild browns today. All were between 6" to 7" but jumped like they were twice that size. Now I need to go after the brookies!!!
Nice fish, they look familiar, I hope you aren't fishing my water!!!

Nice fish.

I tattooed my initials on them so we wouldn't get confused.

Did you catch them on a small stream or main river, like the Musky or N Branch?

Congrats, now you have to catch a wild brown, brookie and rainbow all on one day! Throw in a wild tiger for the grand slam!

I've caught plenty of wild brookies and browns in NJ. Last week caught my first wild rainbow, in a stream where they are not supposed to be. Surprised is an understatement.
