Jersey Fishing

This weekend will find sportsmen out
upon the streams angling for trout, the
season for which opened last SATURDAY
The rainbow trout have found favor with
the anglers who located them last week.
They took small minnows and live worms
Ereedily, and promise to afford greater
sport when they commence to rise to
the artificial fiv.
Streams in the northern part of New
Jersey are favorite angling grounds LOT
many Philadelphia sportsmen. They al
ford better angling to tie fly caster imam
do the streams farther south, as they are
not only larger but are better stocked
Among the more noted of these north
Jersey streams are the Pequest River,
above Belvidere, and its headwaters above
Andover Junction, in Sussex county
and the Paulinskill and its tributaries
in the vicinity of Blairstown. Many
good trout streams are also found IN
Monmouth and Mercer Counties.
Bait fishermen will land the most trout
until warmer and more settled weather
sets in. When the sun gets busy and
matches out the myriad of insect life
among the stream banks, the trout VIII
begin to take artificial lures more readily
