Snowy Troutin' - 1/14/17

[NJSquatch]

With fishable ice at a premium and the boat in the middle of its winter slumber I decided to dig out the trout gear in an effort to break the cabin fever.

Got to the river around noon and had a camera shy trout on the line within 10 minutes. Waded the river for about 3 hours and had consistent action in the deeper pools. Finished the day hooking 5 and landing 3 to a thick 15.5". The fish were very aggressive and acrobatic with multiple jumps and drag peels.

Surprisingly it was much warmer standing in the water than on the bank.

Beautiful colors on these fish.







All fish released for others to enjoy.
