AndyS, the only guy willing to drive 8 hours to fish for NJ rainbow trout LOL

Was no doubt you were gonna pull some out of the BIG water. Id have to say none of those are freshly stocked. They'd be tinier ones like 7-9 inchers. All nice holdovers at least from this fall.

It's a mystery, and if word gets out, say goodbye to those trout

It will rain! Trout will move! Trout will disappear on the Raritan as always. The cormorants will eat there fair share! The Eagles, Heron and land dwelling hunters will get a few as well. As for anglers on the Raritan on Opening day, rhere won’t be many Trkut caught as always. But somehow, some way those Rainbows always show up later in the season and there usually big. Those Trout are always there. Just gotta look in some strange places to find them. Like I said in another post. I catch Trout year long! They are always around and always have been.

yessir, i think everyone in NJ has an experience with catching a random rainbow somewhere. ive heard of some crazy ones too, from tiny rainbows with parr marks in non-trout water, to big breeders caught in tiny creeks in the middle of summer. They find a way soon it'll be our state fish lol

Glad to see you caught some and had a good time!! My grandpa was/is a frequent at the Royal, Big Jims favorite spot

Some of those trout look like holdovers to me, while others look more like stockies. HMMMMM

Even stopped in at Spikes in Point Beach and got some flounder, scallops, shrimp and Manhattan clam chowdah before going to my sisters house in Tome River.
