Fly Fishing NH's Connecticut Lakes Region

Month: February 2015

Ask The Expert: Jon Howe

Jon Howe, a.k.a. “Old Man River” and the “Dean of the Androscoggin”, is our fly fishing guide emeritus here at Tall Timber and has been guiding on the Connecticut and Androscoggin Rivers for decades. In short, he has been harassing trout and salmon for many a moon. In fact, it’s well in to decades of harassment that Jon has perpetrated on the salmonid population, and he really loves it.
