Short and sweet one about dads – it’s his day today, so whether they’re with you or not, wish them a good one and spend some quality time together today.
Upper Connecticut River Fishing Report: 6/18
Things are pretty good here on the Connecticut River in Pittsburg, N.H. lately. The weather’s great, the flows are steady, and the caddis and mayfly hatches have been robust. There’s even been some fish willing to “play the game”, and longtime TTLer Carl Thum found out that there are some lunkers in there as well.
Be Prepared …
That’s what the Boys Scouts used to say once upon a time, and it is no different if you’re fishing Back Lake’s “Hex Hatch” either. Fortunately, we have our Back Lake Fly Selection fly box to help you out in case you weren’t a Boy Scout.
Match the Hatch
This photo was taken Friday on the Trophy Stretch of the Connecticut River by longtime guest and excellent “fly phisher” Mary Ward.
There has been great hatching activity on the Trophy lately – BWO’s, Cahills and Sulphurs, along with small yellow stones and some caddis too.
Upper Connecticut River Fishing Report: 6/10
June is the fisherman’s month on the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire – not only are the water temperatures still nice and cold, but the insect hatches are really kicking in to high gear and the fish are in full feed bag mode.
This beautiful salmon finally took a dry after several attempts by Chuck DeGray of North Country Fly Shop. Way to go Chuck!
Upper Connecticut River Fishing Report: 6/8
It doesn’t feel much like summer here in northern New Hampshire – temps topped out in the 50’s today, with a healthy breeze as well. Oh well, there’s been some good fishing on the Upper Connecticut River lately, with some nice rainbows, salmon and brown trout (above) caught and released.
