Got there bout 9am one other guy, water was up and murky.Walked all way up stream, had one little guy follow & turned at my feet.Threw a hook with some P bait and landed small native brown. Decided to head home and try the gorge.Got there and Water was perfect and clear. Just about every other hole we had fish on last hole found 3 fish all over 4lbs managed to hook and land one them, all fish were released as always here some pics

Never heard of a native brown in the Squan only some tales of native brookies back over 40years ago. Sure it wasn't a fingerling stockie for the sea run program?

I'll pass this on as I was corrected one time,browns are not native to NJ so it was it wild brown.Probablly part of the sea run program they toss a crapload of fingerlings in the squan.Once a brown has been out of the hatchery for a while it will get nice red and yellow spots.

Although browns were imported 150 years ago, they absolutely positively 100% reproduce in the wild. Some streams have phenomenal numbers of wild fish. So perhaps "native" is technically incorrect, wild and stream bred browns are extremely prevalent in some waters of the Garden State.

This is the best way to identify a fish as wild....the condition of the fins. That little guy in the gloved hand is not an "native", the brown laying in the sand with the orange rapala looks like it could be wild.
