Garden State Trout

Just stock a bunch of ice in the summer..everyday at 1 pm. Dump trucks I am saying..every day for three months. June July and August. I see more a chance of this then DFW changing the stocking program... , although it makes sense to change it.

This site is rather dead because it not a very friendly warm inviting site for non fly trout angler-fisherman. Everyone doesnt fly fish. Some center-pin & spin. Some of our equipment is also way more expensive then the typical fly gear. but we are looked down upon because we dont fly fish :( . I fo...

So I woke up this past Saturday about one month post surgery with a whole lot of pain in my kidney area. Tried to convince myself that it was gas and this too shall pass, but by midday the pain was all I could focus on and my wife said I was gray in color. So she called my Dr. and spoke with the se...

They did it the old fashion way then...once..once..that was uncomfortable..everyone after it was blood test...had 1 colonoscopy, the drugs are fantastic..I never felt better for the 3 seconds before I fell asleep....DO IT!!!

I was at the Pequest River today and found the bottom have of a fly rod in a parking area. If you lost it contact me and I will get it back to you.

Good man!

Wonder if it would be different if he found the whole thing?

So I went to the SBR Friday. Found some freshly stocked fish...caught one, it was hard work...fish don't know what a nymph is yet...anyway, I was there about twenty minutes when a guy walks up, "hey, catchin' anything?" I politely responded, to the old coot from Rahway...I got one, there are a few i...

Fished the South Branch on Tuesday, Musconetcong on Wednesday..2 wild fish, one from each, they look identical.

I used to use weather1 app, but a guy retired and the reports are not as, is at all accurate anymore, not I use WeatherBug, simple and effective. I go to USGS for flows...

No thanks. I was next to one of these things once. he thought the whole river was his, drifting many many yards in front of me and others....

Lots of White Perch in Spruce Run Reservoir....

even better, white perch are great to eat and feisty on light tackle. I remember catching some in clinton below the reservoir about 20 years ago. Are they a remnant landlocked population that got cut off from Raritan bay hundreds of years ago when dams were put up or were they stocked at some point...

Sounds like a great day! Were there lots of people fishing? Did the white bass (hybrid stripers?) also take crawlers?

My bad, white perch...

Productive hour at Spruce Run reservoir on Monday. The rains created a debris matte where Spruce run creeks enters. I went at noon with night crawlers...caught the biggest smallmouth I have ever seen and the biggest channel catfish I have ever caught, and a smaller smallmouth under that debris matte...
