Thats a lot of trout, must be a hell of a fisherman

It is Garden State Trout thst is being discussed and has been suspended

Also wondering. Says it has been suspended.

Im more interested in fishing the resevoir itself. Are permits available? Anyone ever fish it?

As far as I know there are no fly fishing stores in Monmouth or Ocean County. In Monmouth we have Dicks Sporting Goods and LL Bean in the Freehold Mall and that is about it.

Back many years ago, before floating lines, we would grease the line so it would float. did nothing for casting ability as it would over time clog up the guides necessitating tedious cleaning.

Excellent book Trout Streams of Pennsylvania by Dwight Landis tells you all you need to know about Pa streams.

Check out the Lehigh River in Pa. might have to deal with tubers this time of year but it is an up and coming River. Good river to float but wading is a nightmare.

Now Sandy Hook is closed.

We went to Sandy Hook yesterday and it looked like a mid-summer weekend.

As an 80+ year old I enjoyed your post Lightenup

I recall a debunking of that 97% number some time back but don't remember the details except that it was from a very small sample of scientists already on board. Surprised it wasn't 100%. The real number would probably be closer to 50%. Another comment I recall is that if you are not...

That's exactly my thoughts on climate change also but you were able to express it far better than I.

There is a very amusing story about Dennis on the Paflyfish web site.

Just read on another web site that Dennis Skarka from Catskill Flies has passed away.
