TPO on the lower D

[Fascist Killer]

Feel free to move this to the NJ section if it is more appropriate there.

This morning I woke up with an idea for the Crew. If it doesn't resonate with anyone lese so be it. My thought was a TPO clave of sorts here in NJ in the City of Lambertville (its really just a little town). Anyway, just below Lambertville is the wingdam on the Delaware, which is one of the few places this far down on the D that bottlenecks the river. Needless to say, it can also provide great fishing for anadromous species who will stage there and below before pushing further up river. Or so I am told. I have yet to fish the wing dam with a fly, but used to as a young'un with a spinning outfit trying to catch shad. Great fun can be had there. I thought perhaps this would be an opportunity for exploration during the shad or striper run (or the period where they overlap) for some of you saltwater enthusiasts. There's two great microbreweries on either side of the river there: Triumph in New Hope and River Horse in Lambertville, so refreshing suds would be available to those who showed. Now, this may be premature and more appropriate for next year after I get a season to fool around and try some stuff out because by no means can I offer any insight, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there for anyone who might be interested and/or curious.

As always, your thoughts are appreciated. I will be out there evenings as soon as the flow becomes manageable and I'm not fearing for my life! 8 weight and sink tip in hand!

To be honest I have zero interest in going there! I would be happy to have it in the gorge. They have a nice stae park near there as well.

Aaron- You're missing the point... NO trout. I know this is trout predator online, but trout wasn't the idea.

I got the point. I have zero desire to fish there! Let's stand next to bait fishermen lol ... No thanks

Ok well we won't include you. Thanks for your opinion. :

Have at it all you want ... Bring some herring with you and a deep sea rod!

What is wrong with bait-fisherman? It is not like there fishing for wild trout...

Oh boy here we go !

No its a joke with Regan. He went on a striped bass trip with Justin and after not catching any striped bass they ended up flinging huge herring to catch a few. Justin said he was like "oh boy" when the bait came out.

Hey I use bait at times as well :
