Well that's a tad harsh ain't it?

My only brook trout i ever caught was a wild 8.5 incher on a dry fly from a brook in Bergen county. They definitely exist, but they tend to be tiny.

An 8" fish is a tropy fish, hope it swam away.

He worked it to a full count on a trip to PICATINNY-"don't worry, I know the guys who patrol here" They showed up with a jeep, no warning from him, he just booked off & left me to fend for myself with two guys with M16's and a radio. Ended getting escorted back to my car (with my gear too), waited for 2 hours no show so I left. He was already home, got a ride & no note. Special kinda fishing partner he was.

The raid on the spring creek was last straw...sorry I showed it to him.
Just happy I never showed my brownie spot!

Gotta know when to cut bait...
