Nice catch!! Trout fishing is always fun. I would love to learn to fly fish...something for the future. I am not familiar with that area at all up there, but I bet it is a nice day out on the water.Thanks for the report!Paul...I think the regulations on Fly Fishing Only Areas(which is only 2 portions of Big Flat Brook, I believe) are that you can only fly fish with a fly fishing outfit. Only artificial flies can be used. Flies cannot be scented or soaked in bait. Currently, you can keep 4 fish at 9". The creel limit changes with different trout seasons. I didn't see mention of barbless hooks or any C&R only seasons for Fly Fishing Areas when I bought my license and trout stamp this year. It always used to be that way, but I am not sure when they changed it...I had not purchased a fishing license in over 13 years so.Freshwater fishing regs, especially trout are very confusing. I always consult the handouts I received before I go fishing anywhere for the first time. Last thing I want is a ticket for trying to fish!!
All I know is salmon fishing comes up in a few weeks, and I am off to pulaski every couple weeks! Bring on the kings and COHO's.
artificial flies only worms on the fly rod get out of here, thats cheating and illegal.
Nice job MarkGetting ready for the freight trains up north?
