Garden State Trout

niceeeeeeeee

niceee adventure . campfire fish always taste better for some reason

Found the reel I was looking for to match up with the rod. Wanted to keep the rig American made and Orvis. Got lucky and found a 4/5 Orvis Madison with a rare spare spool, and suede Orvis reel case at an amazing price. Christened the rod this morning with a decent brown in the first run. Water was ...

who cares what other people thinks. you paid for a fishing license. I for 1 dont to any freshwater fishing in NJ. As its to hot & the dog days of summer makes it unenjoyable for me. I rather just drive 2.5 hrs upstate NY to trout fish. Just go look @ the KLG. packed with Simms poster boys fly fishin...

truly a sad day, RIP Jim Holland. went to your fly shop many of times. Always enjoyed the conversations

Next purchase will be in the next month or so I will get a kayak. With foot pedals will fish out of it but need to get it ready and used to it so I can duck hunt with it

pedal kayak is a game changer for sure

i fish for trout in the summer months all the time

Troutman - I looked up those reels out of curiosity, dam they get expensive - LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: & some people think spin fishing is cheap.... :o :o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: There are certain things I will spend $$$$ on. I can catch fish with a walmart $29.99 combo special. But the experience wil...

https://i.imgur.com/yyC2rkP.jpg picked up this Shimano Stella FJ 1000 a few months ago https://i.imgur.com/aSEYJLF.jpg Then my 2022 Shimano FK 1000 came in a few days ago https://i.imgur.com/lv9kgZO.jpg retiring this 2014 Shimano Stella C2000 that served me well for 8 years. Gonna be my work reel I...

Nuff said. I’ve invested in a stream thermometer and will use it diligently in the future. Thanks for all the good info. This is how we are learn from this site. I use a net more diligently now also. I just used to unhook & release while the fish was in the water. But they used to thrash somewhat. ...

I did not use a thermometer, but by feel, I would say 70 degrees trout fishing in 70* water is deadly for trout if your trying to C&R. I personally dont fish for trout in NJ in the summer months. But I do fish for trout in NYS @ Upper Delaware West Branch. The water in that area is about a constant...

I'll stick with my magnetic release. I just put the two magnets near each other over my shoulder and they find each other and lock together. Never have had an issue with them. I also tried the magnetic lanyard on 1 of the hooks on my wading belt. It was easier to hook up. But the net hung in awkwar...

Looks nice. I use a folding net when I need to net them, for the most part I use a release, don't even touch them. This is something new if you haven't seen it. https://livelylegz.com/collections/equipment-nets/products/netman both have the same concept . the 1 I use has a lever to release the net....

I used to have the magnetic leash lanyard hanging from the hook on my waders on back straps . What a PITA it was to reattach after ever use. But with this system its a pleasure to use. Reminds me of holstered 9mm glock😂😂😂. All I do is reach for the handle & click the lever. The holser itself attache...

Thank you.... Yes. I was catching them for the few hours I was there. but I did cover alot of ground wading in the river. They have dispersed well thru out the river. [/quote] Thats great the fish are nice and spread out. Does the river have good hold overs? I dont know much about the river [/quote...
