You never know what you can catch anywhere any more with all the floods.

This Trout was caught in April of 2009. You can see from the back round where it was caught, even if you don't wear glasses.

No need fer glasses at that highly pressured honey hole...Looks like its most likely a holdover from the previous fall....Don't forget thats not more than a mile from stocked water in manville...

Would be so nice if they introduced a sea run brown program like i've heard others mention....I think it would take very well in the raritan....And who knows it probably has the potential to one day become the premeir fish species of the raritan....But thats sea runs that can move in and out of the river as needed....

The stockies we seek have very little chance of surving even fairly mild summers in the raritan ...The lower south and north branches get waaay too warm to hold them over....I know of only a handfull of springs that will keep a lucky few fish, but still it would have to be a mild summer with plenty of water.....

Need a good winter...So pray for tons of snow
