Just saw on another site that Cathy Beck passed while on a trip to Argentina. She was 71. Saw her at the fly fishing show years ago and she was demonstrating how to double haul and made it clearer to me.

Got back from a few days at the Dream Catchers on the West Branch. All and all pretty slow. I spoke to guys fishing from Stilesville to Deposit to Hale Eddy down to the Gamelands even the Main Stem and the East Branch and the story was the same, slow. I managed a fish or two nymphing in the...

Just got back from a few days at Dream Catchers on the West Branch again. Tied up some 22 and 24 olive emergers and some rusty spinners per prior discussion. All 4 days only saw a few rises so for me it was mostly nymphing. I like to nymph so I was good and while I didn't catch a lot of fish...

It's been so slow I figured I post a report. Just got back from Dream catchers on the West Branch. Slow nymphing in the morning but at about 3:00pm the sulphers would start hatching. They were between size 16 and 18. Early on in the hatch if I did everything just right I was able to get a...

Has anyone noticed that Shannon's hasn't updated their website for about a month?

I was fishing the KLG last week and thinking that with the exception of the Ausable in the Adirondacks the gorge is probably one of the hardest wading rivers I've fished. I was just wondering what other's experiences were?

About a year and a half ago I bought a pair of Korkers Metal Head wading boots. Really liked them, the other day after getting out of the water I noticed the knob that the soles attach to was missing on one boot. I contacted Korkers and was told the boots were out of warrenty but send a picture...

Hit the KLG yeterday, wanted to get out before the crowds. Slow morning then things picked up. Got some nice browns a rainbow and a large brookie. I never had this happen before, I had the brookie almost to the net and could see he took my dropper. He then took off on another run made a...

I was reading my new issue of American Angler and noticed that ajfromnj was featured in an article about Euro-Nymphing. There are also some examples of his woven body nymphs. Congratulations AJ, nice flys

My wife and I got up to Roscoe Thursday night. Woke up Friday morning the river was raging and looked like chocolate milk, didn't look like a good day. We took our time had breakfast and headed out about 11:00am. I decided to fish a spot I've done well at in the past and nobody seems to fish...

Last night, after a nice Valentine's day my wife said to me "why don't we head up to the gorge on Sunday". I didn't need to be asked twice. Got to the gorge about 1030am and fished for 2 hours with a small stonefly and scud combo. Nothing doing, switched over to BHHE with a jailbird nymph...

Hit the gorge yesterday for about 4 hours. Wanted to try out some cold weather gear I got for steelheading. It was certaintly cold enough and everything worked fine. Managed 3 nice browns and lost a big rainbow all on BHHE with a scud dropper. Had the river all to myself, only walkers...

Hit the West Branch this past weekend. It was some tough fishing. Everyone I spoke to was having a slow time of it. Fished hard the whole weekend, had some hits, missed a few and landed 2 small rainbows. Monday morning before we left I went out and finally managed a nice 17" brown. Some...

Hit the Beaverkill this weekend. Caught a few on Saturday on March Brown Nymphs. That evening the March Browns were coming off and some fish rising. I put on a comparadun, cast to a fish, he took and boy I thought I had a huge trout on. After a good fight and some excitement on my part I landed...

Thinking of heading up to the SBR or the Pequest tomorrow, before I make a 2 hour drive I was wondering if anyone knows if these rivers will be fishable? Thanks for any help

Just got back from Pulaski, fished 4/13 4/14 and morning of the 15th. Went out Friday with George O'Brien from Trophy Guide Service. We hit the upper river, water was running about 1800 cfs, cold and snowing. Went 12 for 17, 2 fish about 15 pounds. What a blast! There are not many days I go out...

Hit the KLG yesterday for a few hours. Got 4 brookies one up to 15". Funny enough he put up a poor fight compared to the smaller fish. Lost one average rainbow and lost one large snag that started moving. Still using last years tippet which broke. There's a lesson for you. Need to replace...

I'm heading up to the West Branch on the 17th of Aug. for a few days and was wondering how it has been fishing. I don't mind fishing nymphs or streamers (prefer to fish on top). I haven't seen many reports I guess most people are staying away but it does have cold water which many other rivers...

Fished the TCA area of Toms River on Saturday for the first time. Not a bad little stream, very tight, spent some time in the trees. Caught 7 trout, 6 brookies and 1 little brown. The brownie and 1 of the brook trout had long perfectly formed pectoral fins. This usually indicates a wild...

Took a drive on Saturday to Toms River. I live in South Jersey and always head to North Jersey or the Catskills to fish. I was wondering, does anyone know if trout hold over in this section of Toms River. It seems like it gets plenty of shade. But I would think it still might get to hot in...
