Well now, that is an AWESOME 2014 NJ Freshwater Digest. Great articles by the fine people at NJF&G. Thanks for giving the Raritan and Passaic rivers the respect they deserve. Some AWESOME NJF.com Anglers representing NJ in this years digest. Handsome group of anglers I must say. Really good stuff guys. Thanx for the post Gerry.

just FYI - a couple pages in there is a $10 off $50 coupon for dick's that is good through the end of july. says "no reproductions" though, so i guess i will be picking up a couple extra copies of the paper version when it drops in a few weeks.

Nice Eddie! Cool to see you in the digest. I think they could have found a better picture for the hunter education classes though :D

Our very own Rob, SkunkCity and Mark, catfishonthelake were in this years digest as well. Not sure why there isn't any big Pike pics to go with the Passaic river part of the story. Note the rather LARGE MUSKY Mark is holding up in his pic in the digest.

That hunting pic is horrible. It feels good to have a couple of pics in the digest. Again, thanx F&G for the great write up on the Raritan and Passaic rivers.

TIGHT LINEZ!!!!:D

Is this put out by the state? Is it quarterly? Annual? Where can I get a copy?

[FASTEDDIE29]

It should be in all NJ bait shops in a couple weeks. It's a yearly NJ freshwater fishing digest Seth. Some good info in the digest.

Hey Ed, would you be so kind as to autograph my copy?

Thanks for the props buddy. Gotta get my hands on a copy. Looking forward to seeing you and Rob in there.

[Skunk City]

Very cool seeing the handsome trio of Catfishonthelake, FastEddie and Skunk City in the digest. I was hoping they used one of big Pike pics we submitted, but I will settle for a nice scenery shot :). I called Meltzer's yesterday to see if they received the hard copies yet with no luck. Hopefully next week!

Define "Groupies". 19 year old college girls looking to, um, wet a line, I will graciously accept my fame. 55 year old men looking for the best colored Husky Jerk, not so much :p.

[njbassman]

Very cool... neat thing to show your kids if you have them. Way to go guys!!

[UglyStick]

It's awesome to see that NJ F&W recognizes who are some of the guys that get out there nearly every day and put together great catches. Congrats guys...

That river article is great too - made me go back and re-read all the posts on what Eddie pulled out of the Raritan last year... outstanding really, especially when you see it all together.

[liveitup1.75liter]

YEAH EDDIE!! You finally made it big dude.. Ur famous dnt sell out an remember ur roots!!

[UglyStick]

Was at Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood today and they have the hard-copy version in back on the fishing counter.

That pic of Rob in his kayak is a really nice panoramic shot that goes across the bottom of 2 pages... good stuff

[FASTEDDIE29]

Thanx for the kind words fellas. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to get my copy.

Autographs, LOL!!!!! You'll have to talk to my agent................HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!:D

[Skunk City]

Believe that already has happened. Saw on TMZ that Eddie was riding shotgun in Justin Bieber's Lamborghini last night. The guy is big time now!:D

Noticed in the article on trout a tidbit about "Ancestral Trout"

I know that a stream in Southwest NJ didn't pan out, but is Pat Hamilton still heading up the study and now investigating another potential source?

"Ancestral Trout
The section of the South Branch of the Raritan
River—from its Budd Lake source down to
the old YMCA Boy Scout camp dam near the
intersection of River and Flanders-Drakestown
roads in Mt. Olive Township—has been classified
as non-trout waters since its 1968 sampling.
Original survey results suggested that this part of
the river only contained warmwater fish species
such as sunfish, perch and bullhead. However, as
a result of the latest re-inspection, approximately
2 miles of the main stem river plus six connected
tributaries are now known all to contain waters
of truly exceptional quality. A real potential
exists for the subpopulation of brookies located
there to be direct descendants of those that swam
in the region’s waters upon the retreat of the last
glaciation 10–15 thousand years ago!
These waters are noteworthy due to their proximity
to Turkey Brook, a body of water that has
demonstrated that isolated New Jersey tributaries
may contain ancestral brook trout and
also for the fact that a dam isolates this portion
of the river from a section currently stocked,
making it less likely that hatchery genes have
found their way into the system. The discovery
of an unknown group of New Jersey’s only native
salmonid is important, for it bolsters our knowledge
regarding this vital and precious natural
resource. Further, consider the possibility that
the new finds may be genetic relicts of a heritage
strain of fish. This is a significant discovery!"
