Mayhem in Manville part duex 4/30/18:

[AndyS]

Not a 5 pounder but a nice trout nonetheless. Been having a blast fishing the Raritan river far from any stocking points. Fish are coming out of the heavy water. Total trout for the few stops in Manville this week I think comes to about 9 as I got 2 smaller ones today also. Nary a soul to be seen every day.
The lack of SMB has me concerned though.

Nice fatty bow there my friend. Good to see you are getting out there regularly and actually fishing.

Nice rainbow!

Smallmouth all over lamington, even in fast running spots to deeper pools. I'll be checking out the main stem soon.

Had the week off and fished the Raritan river, never hit the same spot twice.

That bow looks like it's been enjoying the RR for a while. Doesn't look like a fresh (2018) stockie.

Great looking holdover Bow! The lack of anglers on the rivers and creeks is awesome. More fish for people that actually fish, HAAHAHAHA!!!

if you want to see stocked trout chasers i can point you in the right direction hahaha

[icebadger]

well done sir andy that fish is impressive do not worry about the bronzebacks you have to use different mojo for them.

[Worksforjerks]

I assure you the smallmouth are just fine

Lack of SMB given cooler water temps than usual for the last week in April?
