I wouldn't go that far.....Those silly fly guys catch those all the time.

Occasionally, the angler with the most natural presentation on the fly rod will get one in NJ. Well, as long as they don't walk through to many holes on the way out........................

True dat,most fly guys are not stealthy and spook most fish.

Hey Shucker! Nice fish there....Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your great post.

Interesting general comment though with the NJ fly guys not being stealthy and walking in the holes..Didn't know that. I rarely fish in NJ for trout. By rarely I mean 2 or 3 times in the past 30 years. I only fly fish for trout in NY and rarely see anyone fishing where I go. When I do see another fly guy up there, they are generally respectful and quiet if wading in the stream.

Again, congratulations on that nice fish. A beauty by any standard, especially in the winter!

Where you fish in NY the water is a lot bigger, so you can wade out far and have room to back cast without catching a tree or a bush. Around here (NJ) I see fly guys all time standing in 4 feet of water and casting to 2 feet of water.
Now I'm no fly fishing expert by any means, but I've caught a Trout or two and mostly they are in a deep hole or a deep fast run on a small river. These holes can easily be found by looking for the fly guy standing in them

And while fishing in NJ TCA's I've been harassed by fly guys telling me spinning rods are not allowed. When I point out to them that yes they are allowed the next comment I hear is "Well they shouldn't be".

And Leif, I'm not busting you, just MOST of the fly guys in NJ.

And BTW nice Brown there Matt.
