Hey Jeepster. Those are two of my favorite bodies of water. I used to hike up the creek from Klipchuck and land some chubby trout on my fly rod. Never tried eating any, but they sure looked good. Your breakfast sounds great. I might have to try that.
I'm not sure if Early Winters Creek is open or not. Good question.
Black Pine isn't what it used to be, at least for fishing. The forest service did some improvements to the campground with fancy parking spots, and paved trails along the margin of the lake. There are two docks now. We usually see fish spawning by the boat launch in the fall. Last year, nothing. I saw some folks fishing. None caught all weekend, to my knowledge.
Back about 20 years my brother and I caught some bruiser brookies on topwater flies. Black ants and caddis. They were jumping a lot & we fried up some hefty trout that night. Those were the good ol' days!
Good luck. Boy a trip report would sure be nice when you get back. Have a good trip. Those are my favorite stomping grounds.
