That was easy

Caught my limit on the musconetcong in under 30 minutes this morning. First time I have caught my limit on opening day. Crowds were lighter than i expected probably from the weather. All caught on a small spinner.

I managed to land one of the big girls they stocked, but as i was putting her on my stringer she slipped out of my hand and back into the river. Still kicking myself for that one.

Good stuff, now you can go back and try again !

Thats how it was on the Paulinskill in 30 minutes I had my limit and also 1 was 18inches. Also not as many guys as I expected.

When i cleaned the fish i none of them had anything in their bellies. They must have been hungry.

It was an odd opening day. I think the weather scared away a lot of people. My son and I had a spot to ourselves at 8:00 am when normally there are 7-8 regulars. There was no stocking sign either this year, so I was a little worried when we first got there.

Fish were active, but a little smaller than usual. I did end up with my personal best NJ stream trout, a 22 1/2" fish that my 12 year old helped me net. Good day and great memories.
