Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
I've been trying to get information on why fall stocked trout immediately seem to go into a false spawn. i caught a few browns in the wee hours of the morning yesterday but after the sun came up all we could see were the stockies pairing up and bumping the females like it's spawning time. since...
I just got a call from one of my friends who said that people were fishing the gorge this past week or weekend with powerbait and not only that they had a stringer of 15 trout between the two of them not one over 15". Apparently they were proud of their catch showing everyone that passed by...
how many fish per day do you think one heron take in the gorge? I saw one of them take two in a matter of a few hours. I would think if they ate two per day pretty soon there'd be no fish. I like the bird but i often feel like shooting the one's up there.
Despite 2 hours of torrential rain on Saturday night, most of the stream above high bridge turned out to be fishable so we spent a few early morning hours at the gorge. banged on right away at the tressle and moved up from there and caught several more fish in some of the main runs. first one...
Has anyone tried any of the stretches 1 mile or so below clinton recently? I was up there during fall stocking and it appears to me that they only stocked the SB High Bridge and above. Normally I would see trout in my regular spring holes but had not noticed any in those stretches and I am not...
After fishing most of the day througout the muskie on Friday, i decided to stop at the south branch stanton station to check out the stocking there. I fished for a little while (though I find it hard to believe they stocked the SB below clinton since on stocking day I would usually see the...
I'm reading this post about some guy almost getting in a fight at KLG. do you regulars on this forum really think you own the spot? It is some big secret to fish KLG? do you guys think that the stocked fish from the spring just suddenly die off or disappear from the rest of the river? why is...
A few weeks back many of you had helped some rod advice for NJ trout streams and I chose to go on the lighter side with a 4 weight TFO Signature Rod. Very nice action in that rod by the way. not too fast but also not super flimsy if any of you were wondering. I found it to be perfect for a...
I am just starting to fly fish for trout SB Raritan, Musky primarily. I would like something to crossover to smallmouth in the lower reaches of the raritan in the summer. there seems to be a great debate over whether to use a 4 or 5 weight as a general purpose rod for all seasons. One thing i do...
