Default Waders - Black River

So, I am new to Fly fishing and finally caught trout with the pole. For Father's Day, I got myself waders and boots. Did I miss the trout window already?

I am doing all of my fishing at Hacklebarney - Black River.

I don't fish the Black River so I can't comment on that but the other rivers such as South Branch of Raritan, Musky, Flat Brook all are still producing lots of stocked rainbows. The water temps and flows are still good so get out there and give it a try.

Start with some of the basic nymph patterns (hares ear, prince, RS2, pheasant tail) fished in the deep pools. You need to get a good drift. In the early evening so good dry action has been happening. You could try a nice generic fly like a parachute adams.

Good luck and post your results.

Good job, personally I've stopped trout fishing and I am after smallmouth. Smallmouth are good in that river, but downstream in the lower sections where it's called lamington rather than black river, like near the North Branch Raritan river. Same deal with the South Branch. They love flies too, but you should use larger flies like wooly buggers and various streamers. Maybe even poppers.

Additionally, I've been wet wading, no waders necessary in this already warm water. Getting my legs wet helps keep me cool too.

Smallmouth Bass fishing in rivers is very similar to trout fishing, actually a bit easier maybe. Id lay a streamer ontop of a run, let it drift down, and pull it in on the turnaround.
