The Yellow Brook is a stocked stream accessible in Colts Neck most easily off Creamery Rd.
 
A beautiful little stream with only a limited amount of stocked trout.

Only by Grace

Can we approach what God desires us to be. There have been few times in my life where I
believe I have done all I could to help others, including my family, friends, coworkers and
acquiantances. Anything which I have done that is considered "good" (and I use that term
to convey the appearance by others, not by my own standards) can only be attributed
to an act of Grace by my heavenly father, God Almighty.

Of course, "father" is a term used within the framework of the English language, but
it conveys the parenting role defined within the bible that God chooses to use to describe
a relationship. Given the literal use of that word within the bible, I feel it is appropriate
to continue it's use. God is my (spiritual) father, my Heavenly Father.

So what is that in relation to "Free Fishing"? Jesus said 'Where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty' and that He has ' come to set the captives free '!

I find it no small coincidence that His closest companions on earth were a few poor
fishermen from the coast of a tiny inland Lake ('Sea') in a small country, from a people
whom God 'chose' because they were the least, not the greatest!

I like to pursue fishing in the great outdoors because the witness of all nature is that
in Christ I am free indeed! I feel 'Free' while 'Fishing'! (NJ licenses for freshwater
fishing notwithstanding).

Free Fishing! Fishing while being Free!
