New Member/ Trout Fishing Question

Welcome to the site !!!

Welcome to the site dude! Waders, yes, you'll be able to walk the river and get away from the crowds. I'd have some bait in your vest or pouch if I were you. Rainbows love yellow and orange PB. Mealworms and butters are also great to have on hand. The water temps on the Musky, Pequest and SB just to name a few are running cold. Water temps around 37-39 degrees on these streams. I'll be fishing the Musky somewhere. Scouted the spot yesterday, running high, fast and cold.
Let us know how you do.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Welcome to the site. Waders are a must if you are going in the water along with a walking stick. Musky is where I start the day using bait (butter worm/ night crawlers/salmon eggs). Opening day is always a shoulder to shoulder event.

Thanks for the advice. See you all out there.

(Elliotsbutterworms.com) Tell him you need big ones for fishing as per Cuz.
Look them up on Google. They come from Chili. Larvae of the Tevo moth. They have to be hand picked.

I second Cuz...nothing is better then extra large butter worms from Elliotts...

do those butterworms work better than regular garden worms on panfish? my wife likes to go out once a year and fish with me for sunnies randomly and I never have any bait on hand. getting skunked could be a good thing since she loses all interest in going out again, but this year my son is old enough to come out, so im gonna actually try and catch something.
