Connecticut River Update: 9/10
Today was a beautiful early fall day up here – crisp & sunny – very similar to that day ten years ago. Reflect on it, or say a prayer if you’re so inclined, as long as you remember it in some way.
Connecticut River Drift Update: 9/2
Fantastic day on the good ole Connecticut yesterday – summerlike temps, in the 70s and low 80s, with plenty of sunsplash. Not the best weather for dry fly action, but boy, does it feel good. These are the waning days of summer, and it’s nice getting a reminder of what is almost over.
Better Bring More Split Shot …
Well, we’ve survived Irene so far, but this will make things challenging for anglers over the next week, to say the least. In conditions like this, the adage “slow and low” is most appropriate , as the fish are staying on the bottom, trying to avoid the faster currents. The fishing has been good lately, especially on the Trophy Stretch, for those that are willing to do what it takes to get to the fish. Remember, go to the fish, don’t wait for them to come to you …

On a drift from Canaan, VT to Colebrook, NH with OMR and his Bride yesterday, I asserted my dominance over yet another fin-bearing species of the northeast.
