Who knows where this is?

I was out fishing early last week before the heat somewhere in NJ and a stumbled up this spring bubbling up icy water. Who knows where it is.

The trout.

I know where there is a place like that, but it is private property.....the guy gives me watercress in the spring that grows wild around the spring....and yes there are plenty of wild trout in and around it....could it be the same spring?!?!?!?

This was off the SBR. I hope it was not private. It was so cold I was amazed

It would be between 50 and 52 degrees like all springs are. The SBR has a few, but rivers like the Musky and Pequest have lots and lots of cold springs. Nice to see it bubbling up so well because that means our groundwater supplies are nice and robust. It's often best to keep these a secret because trout stack up in their cool plumes in hot weather and unscrupulous anglers go in and pound them which kills them more often than not.

We found one when we restored Shannon's private water last year. I had always wondered why a couple of big fish always held in this otherwise crappy water. Now we have a nice hole and boulders around the spring and it holds a bunch more nice fish year round. NY state changed its regs many years back on sections of streams like the Beaverkill where cool springs provide thermal relief to trout in hot summer months.
