For almost a year now I have been writing FinFollower from Connecticut, with most pics and stories coming from The Farmington and Housatonic Rivers, along with some local ponds and lakes.

I recently got a new day job, so  I will be moving to northwestern New Jersey.  I lived there almost 10 years ago, but at that time I had not discovered fly fishing.  So while I’m going back to a familar area, I’ll look at it much differently than I did then.  Not only are there new ponds and lakes to discover, but I’ll be checking out the Flat Brook, Musconetcong, and mighty Delaware rivers.

I’ve attached .pdfs of Jersey ponds/lakes and river/streams.  I’m looking forward to finding some that are not on the map.

I’ve already made some fly fishing connections  so I’m hoping to bring some new content shortly.

Stay tuned.
