KLG In The Rain

December 01, 2009 By: BlackLabel Category: European Nymphing, Flies, Fly Fishing, NJ, Nick, Trout, Wild Trout

After having stuff to do all weekend I had to get out and do some fishing. I was only out for half the day, but I knew being a Monday and with the rain, I could go just about anywhere and have no crowds. Since we did our class in the Ken Lockwood Gorge I’ve been wanting to get back there and hit some of the spots I didn’t get to fish before and after the class. I left the house at 5:30 this morning and was the first one on the water. Actually, I was the only one on the river for a long time. The river was running low and clear. That place is loaded with pocket water so it’s hard to go wrong with a Euro nymphing setup. The action was steady all day with most of the fish coming from anywhere there was a deeper pocket.

Stocker bow that was actually in good shape.








Ugly stocker brookie.








Most of the fish caught were small wild browns like this one.







Biggest wild brown of the day at 14 inches.








22” measured breeder. This thing actually jumped out of the water three times.







Anchor fly of the day. I love Hanak hooks!








Dropper fly of the day.

    Breeders tend to fight like sticks. You know you have something on the hook, but it doesn’t shake…..

    On our links there is a Czech Nymph site. They are located in the Czech Rep. so shipping costs us a bit but not to bad. They have all the Hanak hooks and tons of sweet materials we can’t get here in the states. Shipping doesn’t take that long either about a week. If you order make sure to mention Creek Addict.
