Pittsburg, NH Fishing Report 10/1/2013

That’s Angus Boezeman with an incredible rainbow he landed on September 29th below Murphy Dam. Confucius says, “Big fish make happy man”.

There have been some awesome fish landed in the last week for those diehards that get out of bed in the early morning or stay out there on the water till dark. If you want to catch the big ones, you need to be out there very early & late in the day.  Small Pheasant Tails (18), BWOs and bright streamers have been working.  The Upper Connecticut River produces some incredible fish. The water flows out of all the dams are great right now, very wadeable and should trigger spawning browns, brookies and salmon to head up river.

We’re still hearing good things about Boundary Pond and Coon Brook Bog, and we have row boats at both.

Back Lake has been on the slow side unfortunately. A few rainbows and brookies have been caught and hopefully things will turn around soon.

We’re counting down the days to the end of the season. Unbelievable how fast the season has gone by.  Tom is now guiding for birds with Monty and Rudy so he probably will have very little time fishing. I hope they have a great season hunting. The foliage is still beautiful up here so come on up before it’s over.

The Woodsman Steak and a Cold Brew are waiting for you at the Grille.

 We hope to see you before it’s over.

 

Pittsburg Fishing Report 10/1/2012

There were lots of folks up this past weekend getting in their last few days of fishing before the close of the season. The big lakes, Lake Francis and all three Connecticut Lakes are now officially closed but Back Lake, the rivers and streams and the outer ponds are still open until the 15th.

Boundary Pond Update

Sorry it’s been so long between updates, but that thing called “life” caught up with me the last couple of weeks, and boy can it get in the way of my fishing addiction.

Boundary Pond Update

I know that many of you love to fish Pittsburg’s outer ponds, particularly Boundary. “Boundary Pond” happens to be the  #1 searched for words on this blog. “Trophy Stretch” is in the #2 spot. So all of you Friends of Boundary Pond, we need your help.

Carroll County State Representative Gene Chandler, member of the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee has brought to my attention that he will be presenting House Bill 35, requesting F&G to obtain the rights to the dams so that they can go in and make the necessary repairs.

Water temps are going down, and the fishing is picking up.

Now we just need the weather to change, and everything will be great. It’s been a little wet around here lately but fortunately Pittsburg’s forecast is looking great for the weekend.  Clear skies,  and temps in the mid fifties. Perfect autumn weather.

OMR did a few wade trips this week on the Trophy, and everyone caught fish.  The top fly was a Snowshoe Emerger BWO. They also picked up a few fish on Soft Hackle Streamers.   I’ve heard  a few salmon being caught on the Trophy, and there are fish in Lake Francis Inlet.  The fall salmon run is near.

Boundary Pond has been fishing well and you might want to try some of the other ponds like Terrell and Coon Brook Bog. It’s always fun to fish the ponds in the fall. Back Lake has been  good this week for the folks trolling full sinking fly lines.  Getting the fly down is key. Mickey Finn, Woolybuggers, and Muddlers. The Bald Eagle has been limiting out on the lake.  Awesome sight!

FYI – One month left of fishing season.  We have a few openings this weekend. Give us a call and we’ll set you up.
