When it comes to fly fishing, there are a myriad of rabbit holes to go down. Whether it is tying flies, making or collecting fly rods and other paraphernalia or just visiting and fishing exotic waters; the possibilities are endless.
If you have spent any time on the water fly fishing, you’ve had one of those days. If you have spent a lot of time on the water, you probably feel like you have had more than your share of those days.
The University of New Hampshire Fly Fishing Club held a free fly casting clinic on the lower field which bordered the UNH student recreation field. It was a beautiful fall afternoon.

Going to Septemberfest at KTP has become a family tradition over the past 23 years. It started when I needed a bigger canoe to entertain my growing family.
It’s been a different summer. I didn’t need to put in the air conditioner since the fan sufficed.
