As I was walking past them down the river I was greeted by a lovely Southern accent. I said hello back and then said, “You sound like you are from down south, where in Massachusetts are you from?”
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.
It’s raining today. Not just rain, but a deluge of biblical proportions. My canoe is ready by the back door just in case. I was supposed to go fishing today.
Summer brings great weather and longer days which makes for good porch-sitting weather. There is no better way to relax than with an entertaining or informative book on fly fishing. I am a reader, and like most readers, I like to be surrounded by my books.
Usually by this time in July, the grass is turning brown, the rivers are low and like bath water. This year, however, my lawn is luscious green and the bushes are out of control.
We’ve been going up on and off for 25 years and we are still trying to figure the river out. Every year we try to find a new area to fish.
Fly fishing protocol states that the fly fishing experience should be serene and almost cathartic. Fly fishing and relaxing are supposed to be one in the same.
I was excited to head back north to some of the rivers that flow into Winnipesaukee after such a successful outing a few weeks before. I felt like I was finally figuring things out. Then the rains came.
