Re: Anyone been out
Planning? Yes. Getting out? No. Today would have been a perfect fit for my schedule, but I'm not hard up enough to chase stocked trout in the rain in 35 degree weather with rising rivers.troutfishing4life wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 11:03 amThinking of maybe fishing sunday no sure where yet but a few hours of trout fishing will be nice

Never fished the rockaway and its very close to my house most of the lower river stocked sections are less than 20 minutes from me

Re: Anyone been out
True dat (because I'm so from the 'hood), but they are falling back fast. SBR is only 288cfs which is fishable now, but should be in the 100s by Sunday. I like that river anywhere under 200 cfs and it can easily be fished well above that number.troutfishing4life wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 10:43 amRivers got high with yesterdays rain

So where and when are we meeting???

The Dover-Booton sections are like 35 minutes away from me. Parts of the river is very scenic. close your eyes & it will remind you of the Musky . Its a hot spot during stocking season for sure.

Re: Anyone been out
Hit the BFB today. water was flowing. They also had the road closed off with cement dividers @ steam bridge. Also hit the Paulinskill. water was high, muddy & moving. Also hit the pequest. water was slightly high, but clear. hook up with 2. landed 0. both spit the hook back @ me in heavy current. So got skunked in all 3 river today

Yeah especially if you like shopping carts, tires, sea containers, plastic bags, bums, bears, meth cooking operations.

Re: Anyone been out
Does anyone know why the road is closed, is it for the Winter months. I never fish it that far downstream, assuming it's where I think it is close to Flatbrookville.Troutman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:14 pmHit the BFB today. water was flowing.

Re: Anyone been out
Im thinking because of the twisting hilly roads when it snows mite be unsafe . But idk for a fact. they even had the road closed( I think its Mide Hill rd) going to Rt80 from down there also. so I dont think there was access to the boat ramps eithercappy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:08 amDoes anyone know why the road is closed, is it for the Winter months.
