Come on, man, you're burning one of Cuz's best spots! Seriously?

I pass the Toms River TCA on my way to work, stopped in and gave it a look, meh.

After rainfall the Toms stays deep after other streams have returned to their normal levels. After the recent rainfall, it will literally be 10 days at least before it goes back to its regular depth. In any case, the Toms and its TCA are only fishable by the most elite trout fishermen, so you might want to stick with the Mighty Raritan, Andy. Leave the hardcore streams - Toms, Muddysquan, and Metedeconk - to the Jersey Shore trout anglers.
