Mid to late June is traditionally a great time to be fishing Pittsburg and this last week has been fantastic. The Hex hatch it still going strong on Back Lake, and the Connecticut River has been fishing great. OMR guided Bob &  Rob McCool the last few days, and Bob got into a beautiful brookie on a Connecticut River drift, besides the salmon and rainbows they harassed on the Trophy Stretch. We had overcast skies a few days last week, so BWOs were on the menu.

We did a drift with NH Guide Dave Poole last Thursday and our top flies were the Almost Dun, Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail, Barr’s Emerger and I like to throw a Conehead Woolybugger,when we’re not seeing rising fish, and I got a few on that too.

Tom, Morgan, OMR and I were all on Back Lake tonight and the girls prevailed. As usual! OMR’s still trying to figure out which fly he should have used. It’s a never ending battle.
