Like my Ross Evolution, money buys lightness, feel, drag,sound-hopefully good solid machinery. Guess it don't matter much unless your into big fish. Myself, I'll be shopping for a high end reel again next go-around.

Fished Hancock - Deposit stretch Thur - Sat, Sulfurs coming off day time up by Deposit, late afternoon in Hancock, Surface action was light during those times for me. Got a few good fish and one larger fish in morning hours. Fish the morning in the riffles with small & medium dries is what I'll...

Lodi! I grew up fishing Carp behind Rochelle Ave in Rochelle Park, small world.

Dennis, I hope you don't mind this, here it comes... So... Left, < 1 mile the campground, 2 miles Balls Eddy, guessing road goes dirt about 1.75 miles... right? How far past Balls Eddy is the Gamelands 1 & 2, is it easy to identify? So it's all easy dirt with Jeep? How far is WBA. Wife...

Dennis, Weekend after next I plan to stay two nights at The Deleware River Club, so far the only WB fishing I've done is right by the lodge. Yes the water produced some nice fish but I don't know Jack about the river. I know the facility has a shop, is there a shop in Starlight, I need more...

Carp like Mullberries, go find some trees... Passaic River, Saddle River to name a couple... I never flyfished them much. Rochelle Park - Saddle River.

"HEY! That's my Fish!!..." One of my streamside jokester lines. :rofl:

If I were to use an indicator it would be a good buoyant dry fly.

Where ever you go... there you are... A Trout Fisherman. It's good to have an idea where to opportunistically wet a line. One can only hope for the best, good locals etc. Some out of the area anglers can widen your thoughts, style and ideas.

I never liked indicators. My styll of nymphing is to try to just feel the nymph, it touching things, it's drag and lack of drag etc. Use to watch line but I don't seem to do that as much lately. Sometimes I see that snapping mouth or roll, change of behavior. I guess it's a personal styll thing.

Live Hear/Say from an on the site source @ 1330 hrs. Musky running a little high but fine! Rich :dizzy:

I have friend from Stanhope checking it out. Thanks SBR tip, like to see some of the good old boy gang Fri nites. Gonna go back to tying some varieties of deer hair caddis. Starting to see good dry action on BFB. Rich

Anyone know the condition of the Hackettstown Area Musky today, maybe fish after 5PM. Raining hard in Passaic County this morning. Rich

Flyguy has it right from what I've heard. Don't touch river bottom or land.

Was on Flat Brook below Walpack Sunday. Worked hard to catch/release seven regular rainbow trout. One guy hooked into a nice 18"er or so and lost it. Water was quit high during flood, saw some interesting changes. The fishing is in general good but Sunday it was slow. I think I'll wait till next...

The decision: SA Mastery Trout WF5. Tried it at local pond, tight environment, moderate, short & roll cast with wind - I like it so far handles and floats well. No memory issues at 70 degrees. Got into a few Crappies with Pheasant Tail Nymphs. Rich

Upgraded to Ross Evolution Real - Nice light quiet mechanically fine real. I like it when things seem mechanically fine.

Thank You All, SA trout seems popular, will look at Sage product too... as it often does for someone with my buying personality ... it gets a little confusing. I usually end up with a pretty good product. Like wine, good whiskey, etc some things take a breath & depth of experience to...

Thank You Sam, To be exact I have a VPS 586, 2pc. It's a nice medium/fast rod. I think I can load it up a little more than I am now. The GPX line sounds good. In your experience what was line memory in cold/cool weather like. How was the floatability on the line tip. I may get this line. Rio...

Considering new 5WT Fly Line... What's the latest and Greatest. Have a Sage 5WT 8.5FT VPS rod. This is a medium action rod. Casting 20+ years but maybe a little sloppy. Want ONE Quality floating catchall line... any suggestions? Rich
