Weekend of rainbows/walleye/hybrids

[Mikey topaz]

Got out this past weekend with Chris in the streams anxious for his first rainbow trout. I got him into his first rainbow within the first three holes we fished only for it to flop outta his hands as soon as we tried taking a picture of the little guy. Worked our way down river fishing every little pocket/riff/seam we could. We picked a fish here and there but honestly was very slow. Finally get into a few fish and Chris was anxious to catch clean and cook his catch, we put a few on the rope. We left the fish on the stringer walked away maybe 30 feet to take a quick cast before heading up stream and out. No more then 5 mins I reach down for the stringer and it’s gone! We ran into a few guys walking down that were fishing next to the stringer at one point and they swiped the fish off the stringer and threw the stringer on the ground. First time I’ve ever had this happen! Now I’m mad I’m walking up and out and find blue fox packaging laying right on the trail exactly what those guys were throwing when I saw them. Unreal! Very aggravating to say the least such a pristine river in nj. Ended up taking Chris 20 mins away to the musky to a stretch I did good by myself the other day and we got a few for him there.

Sat night I had Phil out for eyes and wipers. Not much surface action going on. Lake temp was 60* casted plugs and stuck a few eyes and a good wiper and beat the rain just in time.

*now booking Sumer hybrid trips June/July
