New Jersey opening day, slated for April 6, 2013 is fast approaching. Every year New Jersey Fish and Wildlife hosts a two day open house at the flagship Pequest Trout Hatchery. Spectators viewed fishing demonstrations, fly tying demos, shooting lessons, fishing lessons and a civil war encampment. Click through our pictures check it out for yourself.
As the leaves start to turn and summer begins to give way to autumn, one begins to reflect on the months gone by.
Lots of fishing, catching, driving, contemplating, memories, and twisting up bugs. One of my favorite memories of fishing this summer was fishing a small stream in which the fish were so ravenous that one ate my fly and broke off at my knot. I retied on the same fly and casted a few times. During those casts I managed to catch the same fish on the same pattern, recovering the one I had lost. Crazy if you ask me.
Sometimes it is hard to put memories into words, but thankfully there was some photo documentation to keep the viewer interested.
Winter is the season of the trade show; considering the ice in New Jersey is much too thin for walking. Last week, Moose Knuckle Fishing went to the Pennsylvania Farm show; we reported back to you on the engaging displays of livestock and ancient artifacts. This past Friday, the Moose Knuckle team piled in the Suburban with SJS racing and drove into New York to see the International Motorcycle Show.
Moose Knuckle is predominantly a fishing and outdoor related blog; we believe that motorcycles, especially dual sport bikes are integral to accessing the back country. One such motorcycle is the 2012 Husqvarna TE 449; this bike appears nimble enough to navigate tight trails while fast enough to haul down fire roads.
Now if you have a little piece of recreational property out in the woods and require a nimble yet powerful four wheel drive ATV; Yamaha had on display the 2012 Grizzly. We are happy to report this vehicle is assembled with pride right here in the USA. Judging from the sorry state of the US economy, not enough of that happens anymore. Yamaha utility quads are the most reliable out there, this beast is loaded with horsepower to tow your deer corn or gear out to your favorite spot.
Getting back to brass tax, on Saturday we were fortunate enough to receive roughly six inches of snow combined with frigid weather. If conditions hold we will be featuring the first ice fishing blog this coming weekend.
