Crossed the Big D and fished a stream and one of it's tribs. The stream looked great but majority fallfish, two smbs, and redbreast sunfish in the deep-gorge pools. Think i spooked a trout or two in pocket water while crossing the stream, but eventually hooked into a a PB brookie, think it was a stocked fish. Also on my DIY inline spinner. That was it however for trout.

I ventured into one of the tributaries and spotted more trout, lost some dinks, landed few. Headed upstream more, more terrain and some nice waterfalls. At the bigger falls; sunk a jig straight down into the white bubbles and thought I snagged until I felt one big headshake- then the fight was nuts and landed this 16~ inch wild brown.

Also there was some pvc pipe spewing out water that smelled similarly to the raritan's water treatment plant outflow. What do? Well of course take a cast. First cast, another stocked brookie, which had a messed up mouth. Second cast, yellow perch? yea! Must be that smelly-pipe magic.

Most PA streams I saw were just as low as the ones in NJ.

I really like Pennsylvania ! Congrats on the PB BT !

You did well considering the low water conditions. That's some nice Pocono scenery in your photos. Hopefully the heavy rain on Columbus Day will replenish NJ's and PA's streams.

Love the color on the brookies. Beautiful fish.

Kudos for venturing out and exploring. Going down paths less travelled wil surely yield some interesting results.

Nice fish man!! Love exploring places like that :D

Looks like another productive trip to the promised land. Great looking fish broski!!!:D

Way to go Luke. I miss those brookies

I fish there often right in my backyard! Some nice fall trout! Streams have been very low for a while now! Making it tough to access spots with the boat on the big D also.
