Descriptions
1. The Big Flatbrook is located in Northwestern New Jersey and is considered
to be one of the best fly fishing rivers in the state. Mayfly hatches on
the Big Flatbrook are great and there is no shortage of caddis or
stoneflies either. The Big Flatbrook provides great fly angling throughout
most of the season and fly fishing yields brook, brown, and rainbow trout.
