Heard from an angler that they were hammering them @ the Big Flat Brook, yesterday. Airborne breeders! Heavy meat on stringers.

Fall trout go in @ all the same stocking points as the Spring trout.

Big Flat Brook water temp. was 53 F, yesterday,......nice & cold,...probably why they were hitting good.

My experience fall trouting on the lower SBR is that it is best to wait until the first or second week of Nov. for the water to cool sufficiently to induce action.

I'm staying down the shore right now so I took a drive over to the Manasquan River to see if there was any catching going on. Every person I spoke with said they got nothing.

Sounds like a typical day on the Muddysquan.

FYI, saw trout on the SBR at Three Bridges yesterday. No takers.
