I have to investigate using different lines. All I have are WFF lines. One step at a time, however.
I will use my 8'6" three weight rod with a 4 weight line next time, as well as my 9' four weight rod with a five weight line and see how that works.
I tied some yarn eggs last night with bead heads to get them down a bit. Sometimes the trout take the yarn egg, sometimes they take the dropper. I generally use a small pheasant tail as a dropper.
We have rain again today, and possibly more tomorrow. That should get the rivers up.
The plan it to get out fishing on Tuesday. New Jersey's fish and game department has dumped most of the hatchery trout in two stockings, rather than six or so. It is rumored they will have another, final stocking at the end of May. I generally fish a no-kill river which is open 365 days a year, artificial baits only. One of my favorite rivers is closed as it borders a state park, which is closed by order of our commie governor. I probably said that already.....
