Garden State Trout is back up>

Local river levels are off the chart,; locally we received over 3 inches last night and more coming thru tomorrow. https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/index.php?id=real&sid=w__map&r=nj

I'd say it was a tie. I aged every time I was in a car with them; some great stories. :)

Congrats, you will love it. (y) I believe we met some time ago at Wells Mills, used to hang out with McLain and Fred.

Still use my 4 piece Fenwick, bought another last week. Both are convertible spin/fly pack rods, perfect for canoe trips.

Had contact with Tom, he is aware of it, but has not had time to look into it.

Still with OCP's German?

Nothing on the Facebook site for years.

Anyone know what happened to the NJ Trout web site?

During the pre-season the Toms was pushing 2000cfs, and all year has been above its mean cfs; the Riverwood Park area was under water for some time and then under mud even longer. The river has been moved around quite a bit. There are plenty of fish around, just not the usual places. And...

CELEBRATION OF LIFE Fran's celebration of life will be held on Saturday, October 3 at Monument Falls in the Catch and Release section of the Ausable. It will begin at One in the afternoon. Anyone who wishes to pay their respects to the Ambassador of the Ausable is welcome to attend. These were...

I've never fished for them, but the late Fran Betters had a pretty good write up on his web site, link attached. Adirondack Fly Fishing in upstate New York in the Adirondack Mountains - Adirondack Sport Shop

Why does everyone seemed so surprised? Opening day has been like this as long as I can remember, maybe 45-50 years. The only change I see is the lack of any pix of Saxton Falls in the Sunday papers. :rofl:

I'm from the Toms River area and fish the Toms regularly, some suggestions for you. Try a half day on the opener, start around noon, head to the Toms and give it a try, park at Riverwood Park off of RT 571 in Toms River Twnshp and walk to the river, head up or downstream, downstream will take...

I believe the Paulinskill is a TCA. Check the listing for TCA's.

I will be there with my crew on Sunday. Its been quite some time since I've been to the event, a long ride from down south. We will certainly stop by for some pizza and then on to Johnnys.

That truly sucks. I used to own a cabin down from Fran's home in the Acres and remember the problems he had when he originally sold the old place to the guy that opened shop at the dam in Wilmington, since closed down. One of the nicest folks I've ever known, a saleman for sure, but he never...

Permethrin, the active ingredient in permanone, and any of its other names, is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. It does work great on ticks though, the only thing I use for them, but not on waders or skin. It's a pretty nasty chemical if not used with care. If you have a cat...
