Backyard Brown Trout - Fishing a Suburban New Jersey Creek

[@diptofu]

8:22 you know it took me until this far into the video to realize you were in my backyard water! Makes me feel lazy for not getting out there yet, I’ll have to change that today. Another wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

I feel like you have to take advantage of any opportunity this time of year since the weather doesn't cooperate often.

[@shad3128]

Good to see that little joint still holding fish- been fishin there ages with my dad. Always fun little browns in there Cheers dude !

[@billwilburn1685]

Glad to see you back.

[@PamN191]

WOOHOO Great day! Glad to see you caught so many. -mom

[@DavidSpain-i4c]

Nice Fish. Caught mt first trout of 2024 today, Tight lines Lard.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Awesome, hopefully the first of many.

[@stevenw711]

I used to love fishing that creek with my dad. Glad to see it still holds fish. “The mighty PP” he used to call it lol

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

I've been fishing "The Mighty PP" since I was a teenager. It's always good for a trout or two.

[@danhealyeverythingoutdoors7105]

That's a great outing for this time of year !

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Agreed, it was great action for January.

[@danhealyeverythingoutdoors7105]

Actually not bad for anytime of year ! lol.@@FishingWithLardAlmighty

[@ledraps22]

brown trout were going nuts today in PA too, nice work

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

I figured the weather would have them fired up.

[@brycedayton4092]

Helluva day! Can't wait to get out there in my own area soon when I've got a day free and it's not freezing.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Yeah the cold weather has been a big downer. Hope it warms up for you soon.

[@AbbyNormill]

Well done. What a great day!

[@Your_Name_Here_]

Nice browns! If you had a slow start to the year, you certainly made up for it.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

It was certainly worth the wait for a day like that.

[@daletowler1354]

did you ever catch tiger trout , you go up musky in changewater, and penwell, thats right what you said about wild trout, I wenr into old boy scout camp, I caught 24 trout in 2 hrs, and 1 was about 2lbs.. I fly fish in NJ since the 50s.. that tells me how old I am.. good luck

[@Dloew194]

Went there with my dad a day before it closed down for stocking not a single hit all day. The water was high so I guessed someone must have ran through it already

[@danyeo]

Hey Lard, let's hit up the D&R canal for some catfish this Spring and Summer. I'm close to Bridgewater.

[@jeffo9024]

Nice fish…browns are beautiful…

[@Huge4Fish]

i like the looks of that place...nice runs and cut banks. hmmmmmm....

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

It fishes better after a rain.

[@Lionfish-Scuba-Fishing-Travel]

Great job! Where is the brook located? Nunya creek? Great video! I caught a 7 inch Brooke in the Pequest this weekend.

[@williamwilde141]

Convinced I'm gonna run into you on the Raritan one day. lol

[@momoneyinc]

If you ever want to teach a fellow 56 year old NJ guy how to fish, I would love to learn.

[@leannesmith3660]

Outstanding beginning to 24! When you fish this creek approximately how far fo you go? We have been getting rain so our ponds and lakes are starting to raise a bit. Everything here has been drastically low. One of my favorites is at least 3 feet low.😢

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

This creek is a solid hour-plus from where I live. It's worth the drive.

[@smooveb191]

what a day congrats i need to get out for my first fish of 24

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

No time like the present!

[@luisgerena1227]

I can never catch browns in jersey …..this guy browns all day

[@billwilburn1685]

Do you just pick whatever lure comes to mind or is there a reason? I’m guessing it’s whatever you feel like at the time.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

It's a combination of things, but usually I look at water conditions and that gives me an idea of what to use.

[@ericcannon5439]

Is that the Stony Brook in Princeton?

[@diptofu]

Lard do you typically walk downstream or upstream… here or anywhere you fish?

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

For small creeks I like wading upstream to avoid disturbing the silt and sending it into the holes I want to fish.

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

1k and I wasn't even one of them yet. I'm usually one of the first. 😂 Congrats!

[@vincebrown5158]

How do you manage your landing net walking thru the woods?

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

It does get hung up on thorn bushes sometimes, but it's not that bad.

[@AndrewTaeschler]

what town in new jersey?

[@daletowler1354]

[@RyanPorada]

where

[@JoshDambuleff]

Should’ve busted out the new fly rod!

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

I actually haven't even bought line for it yet!

[@frankrizzo1826]

Nice Brown on first cast. Is that the Saddle River in Bergen County? I've caught some there last November.

[@joelaw2752]

Yeah, I live where in NJ, Raritan?

[@wbsouthton]

Single barbless? If not you could be accidentally injuring those little natives.

[@bryanleister9073]

I wanna send you a pic of a couple brooks i caught in bergen county instagram or anything?
