Hardwick, New Jersey

Caught 2 small browns on an orange bead pheasant tail. The water was low and crystal clear, which did not help me. The trout spooked when they saw my fly line on a false cast or even whrn the nymphs hit the water. I saw a nice fish 50 feet above the water on the trail, and after staring at it for 5 seconds, it saw me and swam off under a rock. I switched to a dry fly too late, as I had to go to work. I do think I had one denial though. There were some sulphers, some small bwos, and a smaller dark blue/grey mayfly, about size 18 that I didn't know what it was. I'll have to hit it again after a rainstorm, and try to fish the water farther up away from more people

Took the day to hike Dunnfield Creek to try and catch some brookies. Was very successful, as I caught 7. The river was raging, and I would say 50% of the hiking trail was underwater, but in the end it was a good day of fishing. There were only a handful of fishable pools (the other ones were too turbulent), and there were multiple fish in each pool. I had low expectations at the start because of how much water was in the system, but was happily surprised. I can only imagine how the fishing would have been with normal flows

Caught one small brown and 2 common shiners on Sunday. We went to Van Campens Glen, and didn't see any large fish. The only thing we did see though was people swimming in the best holes. There was a park ranger that kept patrolling the trails kicking people out of the water, which was nice to see.

Wacky rigged General

Fun day out on the lake. Alot of large mouth as well

Caught these 2 trout, as well as these 2 creek chub on powerbait worms Saturday. I was only able to fish a few pools but I saw plenty of nice sized fish. Don't have my new waders yet, but they should be coming in today. Hopefully I can get out towards the gap again soon.

That is the smallest bass I have ever caught
