Good day. I've wanted flyfish for many years but never had the opportunity and I've now decided to MAKE that opportunity. I have NO experience and NO knowledge and NO equipment. I'm not sure if this is the best place to start but I'm starting. Thank you in advance ..read more

Hi everyone! Hoping to get on the water tomorrow. With all the rain recently, I am concerned water levels may be too high for wading. Can anyone help me understand normal flow vs 'too much water' for these rivers? ie, what is the measurement (flow vs depth) and where to look for current flow? Thanks so much for taking the time! Its so hard to get out these days, it would be a bummer to pick the wrong spot to head toward because water is raging, lol. BTW-- I did check South Branch... Read more ..read more

Hey All, Typical story of "Not new to fishing but new to fly fishing" Brother in law got me a beginner setup for my birthday a short while ago (5wt 8.5'), and I'd like to give it a fair try to see if I like it. I have a few flies lying around from when I tried tenkara, which I just never found any enjoyment or luck in, as well as from mystery tackle box type things. I recently found I love going after trout after fishing the D&R for stockies and doing some catch & cooks. I have been... Read more ..read more

Well I'll kick off the Covid-19 social distancing from last Sunday. I headed out to a NJ WTS that I fished in early December and didn't do doodely squat at that time but the water as I remembered from years back should have a good number of BT. I tied on my favorite attractor dry Humpy in color Fl. pink and started to work my way upstream. For about the first half hour or so I had no takers, but as soon as the sun got high enough to warm the ravine the fish started to cooperate. Here is a... Read more ..read more
