You still have to go there and catch them yourself.

If you don't know about rainbow trout night fishing at Round Valley I think you must be living under a rock. Some nights I fished 35 ft of water and got Rock Bass all night long, the next time out I fished in 45 ft. of water and caught Rainbow Trout all night long, just 10 ft difference, so if you think you can just go up there drop anchor and catch 50 or 60 trout in a night think again.

Conditions, timing, wind, location, water temp, bait are all factors, it's still fishing.

Can someone get a nice pillow to go with my rock please... I have never fished the waters in them parts.. learn something new every day...

After catching hundred's of trout in my lifetime and releasing most undersized fish I found that they are indeed fragile and die easly! But the part that i read that disturbs me the most is the chumming with corn? These Guys are A HOLES! trout especially small trout dont digest corn and usually die from it!

[AndyS]

There was a problem with people chumming cow corn and we hope they have stopped. I don't chum at all and I do just fine.

And as far as Spot Burning.......C'mon, it's Round Valley.

Is this place turning into "SOL" or "girl scout trout" I hope not cause those sites suck due to cry babys and know-it-alls.

Andy,


Your always up on your soap box preaching your crap to everyone about the "downfall of merrill creek" and how you have to write to the state about the raritan river...well, it is a known fact that this night time trout "slaughter" is putting a hurting on round valleys rainbows all summer long...yet you stand up and support this 100 percent...can you tell me why your so dead set on Merrill creek being destroyed in the coming years however you seem to care less about the fate of the rainbows in round valley?

From what I read I should assume close to 100% of trout caught don't make it. Well I just can't believe that, with all the C&R practiced there would be trout floating everywhere, the eagles would be to fat fly and we would have all known this a long time ago and stoped C&R. With that said 110 may be a little exssesive, I know I would have been bored by 10 and asleep by 12, time or fish. Also keep in mind the state electro shocks the fish, I'll bet that raises there body temp, but it dosn't seem to kill them. I don't know any of the people involved and this is just my own opinion. I do think there are some axes being ground and that we don't need on this site. So lighten up people they didn't break any laws.

Yea Shucker; we don't need no girl scout troop site, there are enough of them with those know-it-alls and cry babies.

I have no problem with anyone catching fish, I just worry about what happens afterwards.. I'm sure the guys take every precaution on the release but do all of them make it? Some of the studies I read say no, so it should concern us all. Do the state fishery biologist know the effects that this may have on the rainbows? Are there any effects at all?
