The last place on earth you might think to find such an awesome looking limestone fed river....the armpit of America...New Jersey. But the South Branch of the Raritan is a Garden State gem. I did a little research and found this stream right near where I was working, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The most impressive thing about the whole trip was that I fit waders, vest, boots, and gear into my carry-on. I just had to make cuts on work pants, socks and underwear. Priorities people. I had the whole day planned and was super pumped to go and not even torrential thunderstorms stopped me from getting out. The fish weren't rising, but the stream was a nymphers delight and I tight lined about 8-10 fish in an evening and felt my stress level go from an 8 to a 1. I love fishing.
