Garden State Trout

Troutman, if you're worrying about wearing out your fly rod, you better get yourself an agent and a corporate sponsor

Closed: Temp police order. Another coyote attack?

Probably just a Jersey Trout Devil sighting.

When I first saw that pic, I saw Rick E. (aka Stonefly on this board). RIP Rick.

Great photo, Troutman.

Hey Troutman, are those Victoria Secret underwear?

Glad you were ok tho-

I kayak there with my sons all the time in the summer. It's a peaceful place but one has to remember how unforgiving nature can be. What a terrible way to go. RIP to those guys.

I used to catch fish there but not too much as of late. In fact, my largest Brookie(a fat girthy one) came out of that river, but it doesn't fish well for long, in part because it heats up quickly in the spring. I also tried the two wild streams but to no avail.

Stay away from the Black River until further notice. I got skunked there today and I highly doubt there are any fish in that river, even tho it was stocked two weeks ago.

Nice. That place is a gem, year after year.

Beautiful shots, nice report broski.

Took the day off last Wednesday to try my luck on the KLG. Not too many leaves on the water, which meant they're up in the trees

Nice flows, great foliage, and the trout were cooperative. Get out there if you can, fellas!

I think a proper tribute to Jim would be renaming the one fly contest to the "Jim Holland Cup". Jim was the master of ceremonies at the contest and without him there would have been no contest. I would be happy to donate money for a trophy or plaque. This is up to the state council of TU but I real...

Pretty much any of the stocked streams that aren't designated "trout maintenance" will have populations of bass, sunnies, and the ever present fall fish. I too ain't much of a pond/lake guy. Don't have a watercraft and don't really have the patience to learn that game. Not to dismiss the OP's disin...

Hit a nice clear lake today with the inflatable kayak and my 3wt St. Croix rod outfitted with the remnants of a size 10 mouse fly. Tons of bluegill and sunfish, all caught on top water, some strikes being quite violent. So much fun. The kayak is great for lake fishing because you can access pretty m...

I'll add my vote for Chota...I've had mine for over 8 years.

I tossed about 50 goldfish into a kiddie pool I still have from when my boys were very young. If you stand in it with your eyes closed and play a "whisper in the trees" online sound bit, it's kinda like being on the Big Flatbrook.

We have two catch and release sections in NJ which means if the conditions (flow and temp) are not ideal for trout survival people should not be fishing. Yet, every summer, we see people fishing and catching/releasing trout destined for a raccoon dinner. Why doesn't NJ F&W close these sections of r...

I, on the other hand, landed only a few compliments on my casting. The parking lot was full but it was nice to get out on the river and see the GST Webmaster, Tom Twism. I did catch a few of these little monsters from a pond I visited while my son was taking tennis lessons tonight. Felt good to hear...

Hope you guys had a great time, just got back from Nashville and had to work They all got arrested for smoking weed in a WCA, and drinking beer on state property...all the bamboo rods were confiscated and are being sold for charity to drug and drinking programs... They all need to enter re-hab for ...

Let's do it!

Or, how about just show up and see what happens... maybe we'll just stand around and tell fish stories 😂 that would be enticing if someone would bring the hot dogs & hamburgers ;) Ill bring the beer..... No matter the weather, its always good drinking weather! This is great. We're about a six-pack ...
