I had a few hours on a warmer than usual overcast day, so I decided to try my luck and see if I could catch a Landlocked Salmon.
As another flock of geese flew overhead, I remembered that I was going to meet my son Reed on a river that flowed into Lake Winnipesaukee later that afternoon.
As I was reading a John Gierach article from my latest edition of Trout Unlimited’s Trout magazine, my phone started blowing up with messages about John’s passing.
As we New Englanders like to say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” So when my friend Terry called to see if I wanted to fish I agreed.
There are times when I am fly fishing a secluded stream that I can imagine myself being out west or northern Maine, yet I am twenty minutes from the nearest fast food restaurant.
One of my hobbies is buying and selling fly fishing equipment. Before I started fly fishing I would come across bamboo fly rods and occasionally pick them up if the price was right.
One of my fly fishing challenges every year is to fish waters that are new to me. This is never a problem in a state like New Hampshire because there is so much water to fish.
Hidden in the headwaters of the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire lies the Trophy Stretch. This two and a half miles of fly fishing only water connects First Connecticut Lake and Lake Francis in Pittsburg, New Hampshire.
