Great day in Northern NJ

[MasiJC]

Trout must have been deprived of food cause they were out there and biting!
Caught and released 5 or 6 in the 1st 45-50 min.

Garlic salmon eggs were like magic. Had to perform 3 successful minor surgeries due to the trout inhaling the eggs.

Tried a few Trout magnet variations w/ no success..

Full fins, holdovers ??

I heard that they've already stocked some of the rivers up here.

Nice catching! For me I’ve found it just as easy to snip the line on deep hooks like those.

Nice work, it’s so weird to be fishing these spots before opening day.I had a couple with full time too yesterday Andy,

I went out again this morning.
Caught and released 4 nice trout before I ran out of time (had to get home to take care of something).

It was cold but the trout were still biting.

Really looking forward to opening day!

Be safe out there!
Tight lines!
