So this year I decided to go back to school and finish my degree. This term I've had the pleasure of working with a scanning electron microscope for a Nanotechnology class. The class is putting on an art show in conjunction with a photography class consisting of images taken with the SEM. We...

I vote we kick AK Skim off the board for not posting any fish porn from his recent trip to the Smokies! Stop posting pictures of pretty, little mountain streams and give us all what we really want to see! :hubbahubba: And for anyone who can't smell the sarcasm dripping from this post, check...

Got the day off from work today so I decided to head out to the Gorge. I've only ever fished the Gorge on one other occasion in the dead of winter because its always so crowded. I got there early this morning and found a few guys fishing the lower section not far from the parking area. I...

Looking for some where to go camp and fish this weekend. Normally I'd head up the Adirondacks, but its a bit early still for that. I'm looking for somewhere 4-5 hours from central Jersey, so Catskills, anywhere in PA, or Mass would be good. I'd like to either car camp close to a stream, or...

Found this while browsing some random stuff on the web. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/newsrel/2008/08_0017.htm

Woke up early on Saturday and headed up north to fish two wild trout streams. I didn't bother taking a water temperature because I wasn't interested in getting my hands wet, but the air was cold enough that I had to de-ice the guides on my fly rod every few casts. I tied on a big Wulff style...

Heading upstate the weekend after Labor Day to do some hiking and fishing. I'm planning on one day of hiking(a quick run up Algonquin and back) and two and a half days of fishing. How are the rivers generally flowing at this time of year? Would the temperatures be acceptable for trout fishing...

I'm looking to charter a boat for offshore tuna sometime between now and the end of September. If anyone has any boats in New Jersey they'd like to recommend please let me know.

Next time the wind is really whipping on the mainstem just bring one of these babies with you on the drift boat! -6288794793200801092

Just got a call from a friend of mine and it looks like I'll be spending the second week of July up in Maine at his place on Popham Beach. I usually do a bit of salt water fishing at the mouth of the Kennebec River up there without much luck, but this year I've got a full week and I'd like to...

So I scored a G. Loomis 8'6" 5wt. IMX blank really cheap this weekend. However, I don't have the slightest clue how to build a fly rod, it was just a deal that I couldn't easily pass up. I'd like to take the rod building class at DRO, but it doesn't appear that they have one starting anytime...

Managed to get out before the deluge we had this afternoon and picked up a couple wild trout. Started out with an olive stimulator with a beadhead PT dropper and immediately had some action from small browns. And by action I mean I was too slow setting the hook so they were all long distance...

Found a wading staff at the bottom end of the KLG this morning. Send me a PM if you lost one, otherwise I'm going to keep it, its nice :D

Took a trip upstate this past weekend with the intention of fishing the Ausable. I arrived Saturday night at the Wilmington Notch campground to air temperatures of sub 30 degrees at night, which made sleeping in my tent a bit unpleasant. It seems a cold front had rolled in over night and...

I'll be in Schenectady on Saturday and I've got the chance to do some fishing on Sunday and maybe Monday if the weather is nice. I'd like to hit the Ausable or Shroon while I'm up there, and I'm wondering mostly how the flows are looking. I'd check the USGS site, but I don't know what a normal...

Fought a wicked hangover on Sunday and headed up to the water gap to fish Dunnfield Creek and Van Campens Brook. I got to the parking area for Dunnfield Creek at about noon and it was packed with hikers. Strapped on my hiking boots and decided on the March Brown rod in case I needed to get...

Anyone have a complete listing of all the NJ wild trout streams? The NJ F&G website states there are 175 streams that hold wild trout, however, only 20 something are ever listed. I love exploring new water, but I really hate to spend an hour or two climbing up a stream only to find out that...

I purchased a March Brown Hidden Waters 7 piece 3wt. travel rod at the fly fishing show last January. Its a very nicely crafted rod with a quality grip, beautiful zebra wood reel seat, and all nicely polished trimmings. I purchased this rod as a backpacking rod, since it breaks down to about 1...

Looking to take a camping trip sometime within the next month or so and I'm looking for suggestions. The trip will consist of driving to my destination at 4PM on a Thursday and arriving in time to setup a tent without stumbling around in total darkness, so I figure I'm limited to about 5 hours...

Going backpacking in the High Peaks region(just south of Lake Placid) June 5-8. I'll be able to hit some nice freestone streams and alpine lakes while I'm there, but I need some suggestions as to what flies to bring, outside of the ordinary, and any place in particular thats a sure bet to find...
