10/13. A buddy and I did some Ramapo Recon today( Followed the Stocking Truck)

Lots of fish in the river now although flows suck. Lots of BIG fish too. Lots of TU guys helping out spreading the fish around. Fished for 2 hours from 3-5 until the after work crews starting showing up in force. Caught 1, hooked a few more, tons of follows etc. Need some RAIN!

Seems like every fall now we get the shaft on rain. Need a good 2 inch rain and spread them out.

yeah its been too many falls now where the flows have sucked and its really unfortunate because the fall stocking is a great idea and the fish size is excellent. With no water it makes getting a good fight almost impossible. The more I fish the Ramapo the more I really don't like it, its not a good trout river and their is absolutely no by catch, no smallmouth or any else for that matter. You can cast spinners and plugs for stretches/100s of yards and not see a single fish.
