what's with all the Bows at KLG??

[Billfish715]

First: Welcome to NJF. Second: if you didn't fish for trout in NJ last year or if you didn't follow any of the fishing web sites, you'd never know. The browns and brook trout contracted a disease at the hatchery that contaminated them and the raceways. They were either destroyed or released in non trout production waters last year. It's all rainbows for awhile.

Stay tuned into NJ Fishing to keep up with all things fishing. Forget about trying to glean anything from the newspapers.l

There are Browns in there but not many.

okay yeah i have heard all about the disease in the hatchery i was just unaware of the fact that the disease only effects browns and brooks. I surely hope we can eliminate this disease and get the browns and brookies flowin through our rivers again!!!

Browns will be back with time. As of now it's looking 3-5 years possibly longer. Brookies unfortunately may never be stocked again at least by the state

Never fished the KLG. But a few years ago someone pulled out a 10 lb trout out of there. It was in a few magazines.

A very good friend of mine pulled a 30 inch Brown out of the SB above the gorge a few years ago in the winter! It was a beauty! There used to be plenty of Browns if you knew where to look. I'm talking 20-30 inchers! This wasn't long ago!

OUT-OF-LINE OUTOFLINE!!!!!!!

3-4 years ago there were ALOT of BIGGG fish in the gorge. You could see them when the sun would come out. They were never to interested in what I was throwing to them. I use to catch brookies around from 12-18 inches in many spots too.
