Next time you see Freddy, tell him “Pootah says hello”. He’s going to immediately ask how you know me

Beautiful trout. I live in Gloucester county, south jersey. My dad gave me a fly rod when I was young to play around with. I went to a local high school that had a pond and caught a bunch of blue gills on the fly rod. Watched my dad catch tons of trout as a kid at local ponds stocked with trout. The trout had been in the ponds and stopped biting on velveeta cheese or salmons eggs people used back then. He would show up with fly rod and slay the trout. He passed a few yrs back and left all his fly fishing equipment to me. It’s insane how much He had. My goal is to catch some trout this yr with a fly rod using his hand tied flys.

I'm sure he would be happy to see you using his equipment.  Best of luck.

Stopped at Ramsey Outdoor today and picked up a half dozen Black Elk Hair Caddis size 14, to imitate the stone fly's that have been coming off.  Going to be on the water tomorrow at 1 waiting for the hatch.

Use the local shops to keep them around. Freddie has a very nice shop and is a good guy. I stop in there often.

Went out yesterday, flies were hatching, but water was only 39, trout were not coming up after them.

Those are some odd looking dry flies.

What is more odd is that these round style pink nymphs never make it to the bottom of the stream. Always getting eaten 1/2 way down in the drift.....
