Happy Holidays from the not-so-white North
Did Santa bring you a fly rod or box of flies that you’re dying to try out? Are your streamers screaming to get out for a wintery dunk? Do you want to test the integrity of your waders for another season?
At Least Somebody’s Fishing
There is fishing going on somewhere … unfortunately, it was all the way over in Montana. The Bride took pictures of her man OMR from their trip to the Missouri River (the Mighty Mo) in October. Having returned, they are just like the rest of us – longing for a salmon run, the hex hatch, or even a, yes I said it, a bass to strike!
Last Fish of the Season …
It was with great regret that I went fishing yesterday for the final time in 2011 – on the Clyde River in Vermont (which is open until 10/31).
Yet Another Example of Beginner’s Skill …
Griffin Nyhan provided the latest example of “you don’t have to be an old guy to fish the Trophy Stretch well” this past weekend. He and his dad Chip were up here a few days ago and had a great time on the challenging Trophy Stretch.
Fall Fishing in the Great North Woods
It’s been a bit warmer here of late and the colors really exploded this week as well. It’s a postcard out there right now, if you make the time to get out and see the autumn sights. Back Lake has been fishing really well in September, and there’s been a couple of methods that have worked the best.
Fishing Update: 9/21
So, we’ve had some interesting weather the last couple of weeks. First, a lot of rain, followed by a period of beautiful weather, and now most days have contained at least a shower or too. At least it’s not snow …. yet. The constant change in the weather has led to inconsistent fishing at times, but some of our guests have had great luck, on different water bodies in our North Country.
