Easter Colors

 


"Easter Colors"

New Jersey Gills


With a chance to get on the water in the float tube Easter weekend, the gills did not disappoint.  



The fish were willing to look up and if pressed with accurate casts the bulls were aggressive enough to  move.



A couple dozen fish came to hand showing off a myriad of colors.


Few small fish with colors ranging from brilliant Oranges and Reds, to Silvers, pearls and bright blues.



It was a great few hours in the tube tossing the FBC with the Mojo Bass St Croix.



Hope everybody had a great Easter!

Spring Gold

Nicest Brown to round out the Opening Day trip

After 10 days of sporadic weather and water conditions, the trip gave up a nice 21" Brown.  


The last fish of the trip was the best. Buttery Gold.


After a short reviving, a clean release


Hopefully we shall meet again


A well-earned release after a great fight.

Hope you all have a great season.  

See you on the water.

Opening Week 2022

 


Opening week 2022 


Opening day began with normal early spring weather. On-and-off light rain and temps in the upper 50's, with fish not too sure if it's warm enough to feed yet and #16 Dun Caddis coming off with each break in the clouds. 




The fish came to hand, but not without pounding a lot of water.  Most came to the C2C Nymph, with a few willing to take the Little Crappie Fly and one taking the RP Starling.

Another spring, a few more days on the water with the Livingston Glass and another chance to stand in trout water bringing fish to hand.  

See you on the water.
