This is a riot! http://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/3282329266/

went fishing a couple days ago and fished with power bait and gold kastmaster and caught only 1 on the gold k/m.then a guy using dough bait with corn mixed in it ,started to catch some i asked him for some and we had a blast catching them,but the guy left and i did not get all the receipt the stuff was very tacky i wonder if or what he added to be like that,i am thinking karo syrup, anyone have a receipt that worked for them?

The larger sized nympsI can cast on a spinning  rod and reel filled full with two lb test without a casting bubble .This year I may try the flyrod with them and /or acasting bubble in the small creeks and rivers .Trout catchers for sure but I suspect gills YPerch and other fish will go for them too!

New Jersey's 2012 opening Day of Trout season is April 7th!Can't wait!

The water is very low in Ringwood Brook but managed to catch a Brook Trout in the light rain yesterday.It's being Hickory smoked for breakfast to have with eggs right now!

Fall Stocking in New Jersey . OCT.5TH Got these two out of the Wanaque River in New Jersey . A 13"Rainbow and a thick 15" Brookie .Both female specimens. Charles- I started with spinners but nothin' ,so I switched to bait and worked a water falling pool  till I found the proper drift and lie .These two musta been side by side !

Got skunked on the Ramapo River today .Water is very low.  Saw a dead rainbow about 13 or 14 ". Waded only thigh high .Gotta explore some deeper pools.

A vry messed up start to the New Jersey Trout stocking  and opening Day April 5th 2014: http://www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2014/14_0018.htm

are you aloud to fish now

Still trying to find that out Art .I know a lot of the lakes aren't getting stocked this year which sucks! Waywayanda ,Shepherds , Green Turtle .The lower Wanaque river isn't gonna be stocked either .Might be real slim pickins this year with a smaller area being crowded with fisherman .

Opening Day in NJ is April 4th

I like to use velveta cheese some times I mix half cheese and power bait. I buy the cheat brand from walmart it last all year if you put in baggy and frig.

Sounds cost effective Dink! Never tried it .

I use a slip bobber also ,I can get the right depth I need ,sometimes you got to hunt them down.

During the 2015 fall trout stocking season the Division of Fish and Wildlife will stock more than 20,000 trout in the state's major trout waters. The fish will be stocked from the Pequest Trout Hatchery from October 13-21.

This year will see a return to the stocking of larger fish measuring approximately 14" up to 22" in length and weighing one-and-a-half pounds to almost eight pounds. These Rainbow Trout will be stocked in 16 streams and 15 ponds over the two-week period.

As in past years, streams are stocked the first week, and ponds and lakes are stocked during the second week. The majority of streams stocked in the fall support holdover trout fisheries, providing anglers opportunities for larger trout to be caught year-round.

Fall trout-stocking is one of the most popular stocking programs offered by the Division of Fish and Wildlife. Anglers enjoy the additional fish provided by the Division as well as the opportunity to fish the waters of New Jersey during one of the most beautiful times of year. Cooler temperatures and reduced fishing pressure makes for a relaxed fishing experience. Any trout not caught during the fall will also be available all winter long for anglers to enjoy. Many are even caught the following spring.

The stocking boundaries for streams are the same as in the spring (see the current Freshwater Digest for information). There are no closed dates during the fall stocking period. Updates to the fall stocking program will be posted as necessary.

Don't usually catch Trout in a lake but got one on a #3 silver Krocodile spoon last week and my buddy Steve got 2 on a Rattlin' Rap. My fish was up in the column and jumped three times . I am guessing we caught them near a 10/20/ 30 ' convergence but didn't have the depth finder in the boat that day . Going by a undetailed map.

Landlocked Atlantic Salmon two fish Limit in New Jersey . Both 14,1/2" Tasted great but not like Pink flesh Salmon ,more like Trout .Ist time catch for me with this species .

Late June Trout from the Wanaque River on Fathers day. 6/19/12...Brother Greg and I  got two and lost one each .Spinners and worms.Kept these three .

A rare August Trout trolled up in the 10-20' zone.

Here's the last Trout and fish I caught .13.5" 1#3OZ. Tasted great .I slip floated a half crawler on a Carl Hendrix Jig ,5' below the surface in 10-12' of water .Rowing around in a 10 ' boat not far from the ramp where they were stocked I drifted and worked the oars in a spot I saw a Trout Jumping away from being chased by a Cormorant the day before .

An open water January Trout from shore .Tasted great poached in an aluminum foil pouch in the oven. Savignon Blanc wine, lemon, Rosemary and Butter .375 degrees for 25 minutes .

Big surprise drifting over 22 feet of Water using a drift sock and scoring this beautiful rainbow at 12:30 pm today..Was quick to get her back in the water without a measurement as the water temp was 84 on the surface .She swam away fine . I 'm guessing 2# ,16.5" .Hit a Buck tail Jig I tied on an 1/8th oz. Eagle Claw Ball head Jig hook .I attached a Mister Twister Yellow Curl tail that I soaked in Vegetable Oil and Vanilla extract .

Never kept Summer Trout before with a Lake Surface Temp at 87.3 degrees but I had two frozen water bottles over them in the cooler and smoked them when I got home.

Grabbed a 4" Swimbait back in early May in around 13-7 fow.
