heeeeey nice yea thats two smallmouth bass and a sunfish i think a redbreast just with really faint marks but unsure exactly. Nice rainbow too ive found em there in July before, I believe they holdover up there on good years.

Pictures of fish in the net are fine, I will do that and then try another pic of it one handed over the water with wet hands just before i release it. The fish can slip away before the pic, but i have the picture of it in the net as backup

Agreed, that does look like a redbreast sunny. Probably female

Well done man! Great mixed bag out of the river!
Use the timer on your phone camera. Easy peasy.

The wonderful section of stream that I grew up on and fished whenever I could get a ride up there and dropped off for the day. I haven't fished it in 20 years and it looks like it finally came back from the destruction of the late 60's. Most on here are to young to remember how wonderful this section of river was, prior to the building of 287. I have no idea what the purpose was, but just below the bridge in Far Hills, where the river makes a sharp right to the bridge below AT&T, all the pools and river was channelized. They drove bulldozers down the river and totally channelized it. The destruction was unbelievable.
