Apple Picking & A Couple Fat Bows
Had off yesterday and the wifey wanted to go apple picking so we decided to take a ride out to scenic Chester Nj. Spent a few hours walking the farm, shopping, and taking in the scenery. When we left, I mentioned we happened to be close to a nice state park with a stream and could take a walk......
 Surprisingly enough, she was game! Took a bit of a hike to get to the water but once there it was game on! Planned on keeping my first fish and it ended up being a nice fat bow!! CPRd a few more and even had my wife ask to try a few casts!!  Spent a few minutes giving her some casting tips and she did well but no bites. Eventually I was able to hook one and let her fight it. Sure enough, she landed it! The river was definitely low and had some leaves. I could even see fish swimming upstream at some spots. The fish I took was full of eggs so I'm not sure if it was spawning behavior or just them looking for some deeper water??? All in all a beautiful day out in the country with some great fall scenery and even had my wife fishing, lol! Can't beat that!!  ......... ..... ...... ....

Re: Apple Picking & A Couple Fat Bows
Thanks all!! That fish was loaded with eggs. I even saved em and froze em cause I hear they make good salmon / trout bait??
 I definitely focused most of my fishing on trout this year. Besides the last year or two I never really did a lot of trout fishing in the past other than the old opening day bait fishing. Plus with helping out with the stocking and lots of trial and error I feel like I def got a lot better at it. Also, without my boat and not buying shed permits this year, I decided to go with the out of state license. Only thing I like more than catching is fishing new water and I walked and fished more new water this year than I can describe!! Scenic mountain streams where I never saw another person / angler all day. Also, caught a few beauties along the way!! Hoping to have the boat floating again by next spring so I can get back to my bass and pike fishing!! Maybe check out some new lakes, and species I havnt caught yet!! But I'll definitely be chasing trout more than I used to!
