The Dreaded Offseason
December is a difficult month if you’re a fisherman … it’s the time of the year where we take stock of the season that just passed and look forward to the fishing season yet to come. A time for reflection in other words.

Tall Timber guest Ron Volk had a couple of good days of fishing this week – here he is with a colorful Trophy Stretch brook trout that he landed and released.

Finally, the temperatures dropped today in New Hampshire’s north country, and it began to feel like fall. Anytime is a good time to be on the water, but there’s something special about wetting a fly in the autumn.
We often hear guests and fishermen ask how the fishing is and what is working, and my first question right back at them is well, how do you like to fish?
Nymphs? Streamers? Dries? Wets? Everything?
It’s changing around here … you can just feel it. That transition from summertime to fall is happening here in northern New Hampshire, and that means fall fishing on the Connecticut River. Perhaps the most beautiful part of the year, and a great time to cast on the river for colorful brookies and browns, and don’t forget about our acrobatic rainbows and salmon too. It’s here.
Awesome sights today on the Trophy Stretch in Pittsburg, NH, showing some new water to friends that currently reside in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
