Jimbob, welcome to the board! It's a good place to hang out. Wher'bouts in NJ? I'm in Haddon Heights. Not a native of Joisey....but married a Joisey girl. I'm working on her though.....the mountains will get her sooner or later
I know what you mean about cabin fever....but the streams will clear soon.....and the Gobblers are struttin! SO if I ain't fishing, at least I can be harvesting some tying materials soon!
I live in "southern" Warren County, in the Phillipsburg area. The Delaware & Musconetcong Rivers, Pohatcong Creek and some other creeks are all within a few minutes of home. Some PA streams (with lots of wild browns) are 10 minutes away. I am just down the hill from Merrill Creek Reservoir (all species of trout including lakers, and a great bass fishery for smallies & largemouths), and a nature preserve complete with bald eagles and other wildlife (as witnessed by the black bears, turkeys & deer which pass through my backyard). I grew up (?) in Central NJ (Somerset County) in the 60s & 70s. Although I work ~50 miles away (Morristown area), I still love it here, although now even this area is becoming a developer's dream come tru (many rooftops popping up all over the place).... Can't get away from it I guess......
For a real challenge, try ice fishing with dry flies.
A little piece of fishing heaven in New Jersey?
Who would have thought.....

JimBob, welcome, welcome. It sounds as if you've already found out about the great folks here. Hang on, and enjoy the ride!

Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Sorry, Betty.... That's why some of us pack our own 'belly boat' around all the time
