Like most anglers you don’t mind sharing your favorite spots, you just don’t want to stand in line to do it.
There is a certain mystery surrounding bamboo fly rods. That mystery resides in the fact that there is a trove of misinformation out and about.
My friend Terry tried to go to the Dolly Copp campground to fly fish for a couple of days. The operative word was “Tried”!
I don’t know how it happened. I woke up one morning and all these amazing fly rods were in my office. They just appeared.
As I travel around the state I have found some fun places to fish. There is no dearth of water in New Hampshire.
Like the music from an ice cream truck: nothing stokes the fire in a fly fisher than the news that a new fly fishing shop is opening up. The name Fire on the Mountain is not a new one to seacoast residents.
Then there was my last trip to the Trophy Stretch in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. My son Reed and I made our annual trip up to hit the upper Connecticut River.
Fishing trips can take on a life of their own which makes them interesting. It can start with the destination and how you get there and then who you go with.
