South Branch of the Raritan River

 
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. 



He are the Vladi!
