Musconetcong Stocking?
I drove past some very popular trout spots this afternoon in the greater Hackettstown area and found the majority of them void of any fishermen. Today was a stocking day, right? Where was everyone? I had to find out why no one was fishing so I put on my boots, grabbed my rod and started fishing in those same popular spots to no avail. I didn't even see a fish no less catch one.
That was the case for some others with whom I spoke. Were a lot of spots just overlooked? I'm a good fisherman who adapts to the conditions but, no matter what, I couldn't raise a single trout. I'm sure trout were stocked today, and the amount of fish that went in was not that many fewer than the last stocking in the spring. So, why the disparity in stocking points?
Eventually, I'll find them but not until someone puts some water back in the streams and the trout settle in. BTW.......the sycamore hatch has started and I did notice a maple spinner fall late in the day before the showers.
