Urban sprawl, dam construction, and invasive species hamper their existence. The once prolific Salmonid inhabits only a fraction of its native watersheds. Their ancestry in our state leads back to the last Ice Age and now, ironically, New Jersey’s state fish is the one living most on the edge. Yet, in a few high, backcountry streams, they thrive. Shoutout to the tenacious New Jersey brook trout, for being one of the most badass critters on the landscape. . . . Heads up, New Jersey officially has a @backcountryhunters chapter! One of our missions will be to preserve the integrity of this species and the waterways they live in. Follow the new chapter at @new_jersey_bha and if you have any questions, shoot me a DM or send an email at the address provided in my profile. . . . #FlyFishing #BrookTrout #TroutFishing

Suckers are wild creatures. Although disparaged by most anglers, I was pretty stoked to land this one. It took a green scud that I drifted along the bottom. It gave a nice fight for three seconds, then turned on its side in the current and floated right into my net, as if he knew to fight was futile and he just wanted to be unhooked. Like most of my pursuits, culinary curiosity gets the best of me. This one was catch and release. Next will be roasted over a fire. . . . #FlyFishing #WhiteSucker #FishingDaily

After losing 5 consecutive fish Monday, the last one being a monster, it was nice to find some redemption. . . . #Trout #FlyFishing #FishingDaily

After over a year of deliberation between myself and co-chair @trailheadtotoe, under the guidance of Eastern Regional Manager @hennessey802, we finally made it happen. We turned up in Boise just in time for @backcountryhunters to inaugurate New Jersey as their newest state chapter. From abolishing the bear hunt on public lands, to saltwater angling issues and the deteriorating integrity of the Delaware River, to the Pinelands National Reserve and the wild trout streams to the north, New Jersey has deserved a seat at this table for far too long. And now we’re finally here. During our three day stay I met some awesome people, from outdoor writers to industry influencers to revolutionaries in the world of hunting, angling, and conservation. It’s an honor be a part of such a dedicated, extraordinary crew of individuals on the greatest conservation revolution of our time. Jersey, we have some catching up to do. Let’s get to work! . . . #BackcountryHuntersAndAnglers #PublicLandOwner #wildnewjersey

The road to Rendezvous 2019 cut through Gallatin National Forest, following it’s namesake river. From Yellowstone National Park the river flows to its confluence with the Jefferson and Madison Rivers in Three Forks, Montana. Here, it was named by Meriwether Lewis in 1805 after the Secretary of Treasury, Albert Gallatin. Today it’s regarded for its world class fly fishing, scenery, and whitewater rafting. The surrounding National Forest is equally impressive, including six separate mountain ranges and home to grizzlies, bighorn sheep, elk, and antelope. The road to #Rende2019 cut through one of the most badass parcels of public land in the lower-48 and I can’t wait to go back. . . . #Rende2019 #backcountryhuntersandanglers #GallatinRiver #GallatinNationalForest
