New Member from NJ

[reddfinn]

New member here.

Currently a working professional here in NJ. Married with 12yo daughter. I fish when time permits. Most of my fish time is spent chasing freshwater species with fiberglass fly rods. I have been thinking about getting a bamboo rod to continue my pursuits. Looking forward to learning from the members here and sharing my experiences. I am a member in good standing of another popular forum and will say I read more than I post but I am trying to make a conscious effort to balance the two tasks out.

I would be interested in meeting up with other area members to regularly fish the waters of NJ, NY and PA. I have great interests in focusing my efforts on chasing wild trout in small streams.

Thank you,
Ryan D

Welcome Ryan - pull up a chair and join the fun!

Wild trout are rare... none here in Missouri - however in the 1880's we had a train break down and leave some - and they are still here!

I was born in Bayonne, and fish the Catskills a couple times a year. Will be up there 3rd week of may bopping around the Beaverkill and Willowemoc. I love fishing March Browns this time of year.

Welcome aboard, I’m also a recent new member born and raised in Passaic County currently living in Portland Oregon and just purchased my first bamboo rod - a Phillipson Ed Hunter Approved. I learned to fly fish on the many ponds and streams in north Jersey. My first fly rod caught trout was on the Ausable River in the Adirondacks.

Born in the Garden State myself, spent last 52 years living in Catskills... a few years ago I went back to NJ to fish their "wild trout" waters--- I never knew existed--- during months of December through March... many a fine outing; loved it!

Welcome,

I lived in Bayonne for a bit, give me a yell when you come up, maybe we can meet up somewhere. I do a bit of salt water fishing also, area 15 at IBSP is my favorite in NJ.
