- - New Water (https://www.njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108705)

I had a few free hours yesterday afternoon so I decided to head out to one of the rivers. When I got where I wanted to fish the river was running real high and off color from all the rain. I decided to scout out some new water that I have been wanting to try. I took the 15 minute drive over to a smaller river and found a good spot to try. Water was off color but the flow was good. Started off with a Prince Nymph and landed my first bow on the 3rd drift. Switched over to an Woolly Bugger and landed a few more. Nothing of any size but the were nice healthy trout. I wanted to find a few more spots on the river but a nasty thunderstorm rolled in so I called it quits.

Good looking Rainbows man! Good catch!:D

Sweet catches, those things are lovely :)

Those wild rainbows are neat to see, were they a surprise or expected in that WTS?

Water looks decent, nice trout !

nice trout man! Don't you hate it when thunderstorms cut a fishing session short? That's the worst! glad you got some before that.

To be perfectly honest this river gets stocked and I wasn't expecting any wild trout. So I am not sure if these are wild or not but I am leaning towards stocked fish.

Beautiful fish. Always a great feeling to catch in new water!
