Nice stuff. Cool to see the fall trout are still biting.

I read that we cannot use bait in the trout waters of the Raritan (only lures/flies). Has anyone else read that new regulation as well?

I was under the impression that the artificial only section of the raritan was the Ken Lockwood Gorge...no signs or anything posting otherwise where we were today, and can't find anything mentioning any section of the south branch being artificial only...

great job.. you are a cool dad! why not start him with a fly rod? live bait on wild trout not really the future

Gotta start him somewhere to keep him interested... Fishing a stocked stretch with bait is a practice I use often--nothing wrong with that. I'm sure if his son wanted to eventually get into fly fishing, he'd support it. Getting kids involved IS the future. Letting them learn different tactics and techniques is something they can explore as their interest grows.
