Upper Connecticut River Fishing Report: 8/16

That’s an exceptionally beautiful Connecticut River brown trout, caught and released by TTL Fishing Guide Mickey Cunliffe (yes, even guides take the time to fish, every chance they get) last night. Mick was slinging around a ridiculously large articulated streamer and this brownie took it. He was right behind the drooping branches of a big tree – fish that structure, people!

Just Bassin’ Around …

Smallmouth bass and fishing for them is pretty foreign to me. Sure, we have smallies here on Back Lake (they’ve been here for nearly twenty years, illegally stocked way back in the day), but it seems as though our smallmouth bass are, in fact, small. There’s so many of them in our lake that their growth may be stunted, and while I have hooked up with a couple of sizable bass over the years, it can’t be considered anywhere near consistent.
