Garden State Trout

Way upstate in East Branch.

That made me laugh after some brief anxiety... I have also noticed the dearth of activity. I miss the conversations. Here's a question, maybe worth a thread, what is a PMD exactly ? I know it stands for Pale Morning Dun. Is it another sub variety of big or a fly named to be a catch all for Cahills, ...

Thanks everyone. I'm learning and appreciate the insights. Mid May already...I hope everyone makes the most of it. There's an article in this month's TU magazine and one idea I found interesting is how newer anglers are less interested in dry flies as euronymophing catches fish (I'll save what this ...

Did I miss them? I know everything is early, including bass in the SB and the Musky near Califon and Penwell, but I don't remember seeing or hearing about March Browns this year. What gives? Did I just miss them? Did those massive rain storms drown them?

When do you wade and feel safe on the main TCAs?

I'd say:
Pequest 350 cfs

SBR 300 cfs

Musky 400 cfs

Good luck to those heading out!

Who can recommend a doctor or facility near Califon area? Seriously.

I got my scrip to get the procedure, but have not pulled the trigger. Fun BS fact - my insurance will pay for it, if I'm 50. I'm not, and so I'll pay for this one. I got the message from Jim, too.

Before calling or engaging, take pictures or video. Try to get a clear shot of a license or car with plates. Then call. You may text those to a responding officer and it is in their court, so to speak, but is the evidence needed to take steps. Cops and COs are armed and trained. It ain't worth any p...

Thanks. I'll check em out

Which do you use? Monitor my stream is my site for flows, but I'm interested in a weather app if anyone has one that they recommend.

Most of the time I catch a fish it feels like a fluke. (Rimshot)

Let's try that again. These old eyes...


Some kind and thoughtful person found boots at the park in Califon. They are of the fly fishing, or at least wading, variety. We'll keep them at South Branch Outfitters until claimed.

Someone kind and thought dropped boots left at the park. Thy are at south branch outfitters. C'mon by...

Thank you everyone. This spring has taught me alot and so have you! I have new appreciation for caddis on top.

I mean, specifically, an elk wing caddis. Does anyone choose an elk or deer hair as the ONLY fly to fish. You're standing there, thinking, "now, finally, I can throw that tan elk wing caddis."

Just caddis dry as a go-to top choice favorite solo dry fly.

Anyone?

Just a random question...how often do you put on and only fish an elk wing caddis. No dropper. Just a top water elk (or deer) TOP water fly?

Closed: Temp police order. Another coyote attack?

Price we pay. I really make an effort to keep things zipped up. How many phone and packs of smokes lost?!? Gladly, I don't smoke anymore and rarely bring the phone. I find I am a calmer angler if the promise of a fish pick doesn't make me rush to get a fish to net.

On the musky in Port Murray. WW is Willy's wieners, a now defunct hot dog joint whose demise, I'm sure, has nothing to do with its unappetizing name. The food wasn't great either.

I saw some tire tracks going down the drive too. Did he officially end the easement? I remember when stocking was stopped, maybe that's my answer.
