The njflyfishing.com forum (officially “North Eastern Fly Fishing” or NEFF) is an active online community focused on fly fishing in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas.

Did some fishing in NE PA yesterday, water temp was 62 in the afternoon, no bugs but black ants were popular with the fish. Had a nice afternoon, caught 4 between 8-18"s, all brown trout. Had to be very stealthy and quiet wading to get close.

Today I explained to my therapist that I am a great artist, and that sometimes great artists struggle with alcohol.

My therapist said not to worry about the artist issue, which could be settled later, but she said that she was damn sure that I was a drunk.

This made me mad, and because I had been drinking before...

I’m here to announce my newest project: Golden Beetle AI.

I am creating an AI, and its training data will be limited to my posts on Njflyfishing and GB Magazine. This is so we create a maximally curious and truthful AI for the fishing community.

Who's the old guy at Shannon's? Do they have a big theft problem there? This guy follows you up and down each and every isle and watches you like a hawk. A bit intrusive if you ask me.

So I went for my first fishing outing here last week of April. The water was nice though maybe a little low for this time of year. I always go in at the bottom because it's the closest for me to get here from Moorestown. Walked up a ways and fished a nymph, caddis pupa and a pheasant tail soft hackle wet fly. I...

It was not a smooth trip driving up to the river yesterday. First I had to navigate the Route 80 closure, which actually wasn't too bad yesterday morning at 7:30 am. I took a chance and stayed on 80 to the Route 15 detour and I only lost about three minutes as I managed to make it through the two detour traffic...
