R.I.P. Putt

Our Tall Timber family of fishermen lost a good one this week, Richard Puttkamer, but everyone around here called him simply “Putt”.

Alternate Use for a Drift Boat?

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope you have a day filled with family, friends and turkey ahead of you!

The picture is from two days ago, when Chuck Degray and I decided to get out on the Connecticut River again, but this time for a different purpose … waterfowl hunting.

Connecticut River Pike Fishing Update

Yes, it’s that time of the year again … while the trout and salmon fishing seasons in New Hampshire have long been closed down now, the season for northern pike (esox lucius) never ends, so a few of us have been getting out there lately to pursue the toothy predator.

That’s Nik holding an impressive 37″ Connecticut River pike – the behemoth was turned loose to roam the depths again.

Lucky Shirt?

That’s Alain Vallee, a longtime snowmobiling guest of ours from Quebec. Little did we know that he also chases Atlantic Salmon as well, and he caught and released this brute on the Grand Cascapedia River – nice job Alain!
