With all that I didn't hit Orlando Park in Raritan Borough, or Peters Brook Greenway stretch in Somerville, nor the Manville fast water, so much water, so little time !!

Can you be provide me more detailed instructions on how to get to these spots? hahaha, just playing, of course.. Great looking trout too. I love the Q B stretch. Leaky waders have prevented me from going hard there and have only fished from the shore which to me isn't ideal. Caught one sucker there so far several weeks ago.

In the Delaware they are completely spawned out by the end of May...you can fish for them waaay up river until then. You'll see those that don't die dropping back and returning to the ocean throughout June. Then the fry come down river in the fall.
