Pretty screwed up

A shame!

Great! Brought back some great memories.

Caught my first trout on a fly using a feather wing black ghost over 50 years ago.

Parker Brooke quite a few years ago used to have some brook trout. Something happened and they were no more brook trout for a number of years. North Jersey TU monitor the temperature in with 75° or higher in the early summer. We did a group walk and found that much of the stream was exposed to...

New Jersey has some amazing wild trout fishing. You just have to look for it, and it’s not for everyone. I’d rather catch a 12 inch wild brookie than a 24 inch stocked trout, but that is just me after 60 years of trout fishing.

Still around after a long hiatus due to illness. I hope to be back on the stream this year after three years. I wonder what happened with some of the others?

I still tie and fish Catskill style dries, especially fo the heavier Spring mayfly hatches in faster moving water. I also tie and fish the Vince Marinaro thorax mayflies for difficult trout and would not be on the stream without a full complement of Len Wright's fluttering Caddis.

I have a map from the same time period that shows the terrain, roads, and towns. One difference is that it refers to the "Flat Kill". It is a large map and my wife wonders why I stand in the hallway not moving as I search across the entire State. As a brook trout fan there would have been...

Sorry, but I would have to go with 5: 1 - Partridge/Orange Soft hackle 2 - Fluttering Caddis Dry 3 - Quill Gordon Dry 4 - BH Gold ribbed hare's ear 5 - Black Ghost Streamer A lot of basics to learn to apply to tons of patterns. I would skip the deer hair and parachutes until later.

Great looking trout! And for the record I still use my shorty Leonard's vest from the early 80's.
