Lower South Branch 6/26/17:

Beat up the lower South Branch pretty good today. Started near Clinton falls but below Rt. 78 by accessing the service road behind Cracker Barrel near the STP (sewage treatment plant) Easy spot to launch a boat or canoe from here if you are ever interested. Worked our way down the river till we came to the "lake" This was formed when they needed dirt to build Rt. 78, since then the river filled it in with water. Only got a few dinks through here but a great spot with deep runs.
Next stop was the Hamden Road stretch. Here we actually did ok on trout. I lost a nice one up at the S bend then got another smaller one. Nyle got a nice Rainbow further down.
After that it was Stanton Station, had high hopes on this stretch, come up with a trout or two and a few dink smb.
Drove further down yet and hit Neshanic. Walked a lot and got a few nicer smb (nothing photo worthy)
Sneakers and shorts were the dress code for the day. Water looked great and the levels were nice.
I'm still pretty one note with my lure selection as I stuck with my jigs all day, I really need to change it up a bit, I'm so bad with lures.
