Ditto. My biggest NJ brown trout was caught from the Mulhockaway in late October.

So then if what you are saying is correct, then at certain times of the year there should be a large amount of breeding trout leaving certain lakes and or large rivers to run up stream to spawn. I don't mean the sea run browns...

Haven't seen a large amount in a while, but some on Delaware tribs, Spruce Run and some tribs off of main rivers. Not all are giants but most are bigger than the fish normally found in those streams.

I was always more a fan of the Delaware tribs than Mull Creek off Spruce Run. Never caught anything much over 20" on either, mostly 14" fish which are actually most of the fall stockies, but usually more feisty.

The largest brown trout I ever personally saw and held was (obviously) a holdover in the Toms River while electrofishing with NJF&W. Measured 22".

Just upstream from where the brown was found, small (I would guess YOY) sunfish 2-3" and lots of them. Of course a ton of eels of various sizes (not elvers) were brought up as well.

Never got out to fish for fall browns, very interesting stuff!

and KD: you actually get to FISH nowadays?
