The weather has thankfully moderated over the last few weeks, meaning good things for fish and fishermen on the Connecticut River in Pittsburg, NH. Flows are stable and the sections of the river below the dams on the Connecticut Lakes are easy for wading at the moment.
It’s a beautiful day to fish in Pittsburg today. Mostly sunny, dry, and a cool 70 degrees. It almost feels a little like a September day. It should be a great evening tonight on the water for “Last Bite”.
The “Trophy Stretch” is fishing well, and the water flow is at 145CFS. Nice & Easy flow. I did well with caddis, and Jon picked up several rainbows in the 12 inch range fishing and Olive Klinkhammer.
We fished south of Pittsburg Village, and there were a few rising fish, and caddis and sulphers in the air. Jon stayed with his Olive Klinkhammer which was a wise decision. He landed this gorgeous brown and a nice salmon too. Water flow out of Murphy Dam is also very good at 377CFS.
The weather forecast is looking pretty good for this weekend. It’s a great time to be here fishing the beautiful Connecticut River.
Big ones lurk in the Connecticut River – it’s just a matter of finding them every once in a while … another photo courtesy of Angus.
This one was from a few weeks ago on the Connecticut River – another beauty of a brown, caught and released by our Angus Boezeman, and further evidence of the application of a switch rod on the good ole Connecticut.
The fishing lately can be summed up in one word: interesting.
