Welcome to the NJFishing.com family. If you are joining us from another .com you will find the discussions here, both lively and informative. If you are solely a trout fisherman, your comments will be appreciated as well as anyone else's. There are, perhaps, more fly fishermen on this board than people may imagine, so please join in the conversation and feel free to start your own threads and be sure to encourage your friends to do the same.
As for the 10.5 inch rainbows..........you may be too young to remember when a 10.5-11 inch rainbow trout was almost a trophy in N.J. As a kid, a stringer of 9" skinny brook trout was something to be proud of. NJ trout production has improved by leaps and bounds except for the ability to control some pathogens. I would love to catch state-raised browns and brookies again soon. I understand the Division's caution to prevent the spread of disease, but it's time to get back to raising other trout besides just rainbows.
