Once again it’s time to meet up for opening day of trout season. This year should be a little better than previous years since Fish and Game will be putting 80 million trout in the Raritan river. Maybe, just maybe someone can catch a stocked trout on opening day on the Raritan river. All of this will be contingent on the weather and river flows. If it is pouring rain or the river is above 19.00 on the gauge you can forget about it. Meet up will be at Duke Island Park, I believe it is parking lot D inside the park. I will bring the kawfee and donuts. I have some left over NJF bumper stickers also. The table will be set up once again for tackle swap, put something down, pick something up. This is not a tournament, flea market or yard sale.
Park opens at sunrise, fishing starts at 8am. If you have little ones with you and you need help, I am sure there will be plenty of people there to help out in trying to get them into some fish also. And as you know there is always the outside chance of getting a smallmouth, walleye, striped bass, or American shad (by catch) when fishing the Raritan river.

Feel free to have your own opening day M&G in your area also if this location isn’t convenient for you, you can use this thread or start a new one.
