Passaic trout
 

I saw a notice that the bonus broodstock program was suspended this year, but there are still some bigger fish in the rivers. I got this 17 inch rainbow on Sunday out of my home waters, plus a few regular-sized stockers, on a small plug. There are still fish to be had but it gets little slower each week.

nice,it's cool how that overall muddy/slow river has a few spots that look like an actual trout stream, lol.

Upstream of Osborn Pond (just east of the Rt. 287 crossing) browns and rainbows reproduce.
