Yes, I am fishing this Friday

Friday, it seems, will be a day off for me.  After I drop the kids at school, Ill have until 2:30 to do with as I choose.  I choose to fish.

The question is what flies are going to be hot.  I think Ill start the day nymphing with small brassies and sucker spawn.  As the day progresses, I hope to lure a few to the top with a griffith's gnat or if I'm really lucky, some BWOs.

I haven't been to the Musky in a while, but the South Branch is my go-to river 90% of the time.  I guess that Ill have to see how I feel that morning.

Well see how it goes.

One thing I do know, stealth will be in order.  Ill be staying low, trying to stay out of the water and watching my shadow.  Its low right now baby!  Either way, fishing is certainly better than working any day of the week.

We're just getting started...

This site update is at the forefront of Hacklebarney TU's push to serve NJ.  As a chapter of the coldwater conservation group Trout Unlimited, we are commited to growing our membership through this site, chapter meetings and outings.  Our goal is to pass our passion and knowledge of fly fishing on to whomever wants it.  Through this passion, we are working to build a strong membership base that will care for, and look after, our coldwater gem rivers and streams. 

If you are interested in fly fishing, meeting other fisherfolk, learning how to tie flies or to just drink a few beers on a Thursday night, Hacklebarney TU is your crew.

Were having a good time at it.  Come join us.

We'll see you on the river.
