Upper Connecticut River Fishing Report: 8/25

Well, summer finally came at last this week, at least for a few days. It was simply gorgeous, and that good weather led to decreasing flows at First Lake Dam and Murphy Dam at Lake Francis. The river is back “in shape”, and is now at its most wade-friendly and angler-friendly level since late June. It is shaping up to be an exciting final month and a half of the season.

Connecticut River Flow Update: 8/12

River flows continue to moderate here on the upper Connecticut River in Pittsburg, but each thunderstorm has the potential for a reversal in this trend, so pay attention to the weather if you’ve got a trip north planned soon. At 296 CFS, the Bridge Pool is finally getting to a flow where it can be fished decently – just bring heavy nymphs and split shot.
