Hey guys looking for info on early season stream fishing for trout. Since ice isn't cooperating decided to try something new. Only ever fished during spring stocking season, so not familiar with winter trout behaviour. I am spin fishing if that helps. Have been to rockaway and pequonack rivers wit no luck, any paticular stretches that have been winter/fall stocked ? Don't want secrect location, just general area to start. live bait(I know except in tca.) or artificial ? I've been told trout become sluggish in cold water. How about flies with a spinning rod? Thanx in advance for any help. Don
Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I'm learning up on fly fishing with a spinning rod, gonna try nymphing. Got this weekend to get things together,looks too cold to go out, but w'll see. Also gonna get the float tube in order, if no ice forms this week got a perfect place for it stocked with bows. should be pretty good if I can get on them, with the lack of ice what little pressure would have been will be even less.
