My biggest wild brown in NJ with Pic

[AaronJasper]

The upper section of the Musky is silted up and have long been void of much insect life. The lower sections are not as bad. There are tons of stocked trout in all sections of the river. However, the lower section has good holdover rates because of the limestone valley that it flows through. There is also the chance of catching a real monster trout down there because of the clubs that stock loads of trout down near Asbury. There is less public access on the lower stretches but the fishing is notably better. To my knowledge their are no true "wild" trout in the river.

Well, that's good to know if I'm ever looking for somewhere to fish on the other side of the river. I was up in the DWGNRA on my side today checking out some of the Delaware tribs... A little rain would be nice!

Yes, I think we all forget that fly fishing is subjective. If a person thinks 14 inches is big that's fine. If you think 24 inches that's great too. More guys need to realize this and just say "good job" instead of knocking each other.

Big is a relative term. I suspect on a small wild trout stream in NJ, a 14" brown is quite large. On the Big Horn River in MT, it's a minnow. It's all relative.

I've fished some wild trout streams in NJ where a 14" brown would be like putting jaws in a swimming pool. Enjoy fishing. Whatever about fishing makes you happy enjoy that. Don't let other people ruin it for you, and don't ruin it for other people. Unless the bastard wades through your lie. then knock him down and snap his rod over your knee. But hey that's just me. ;D
