Nice salmon that found the bottom of a fishing net today, taken on a Caddis Pupa. He was released to prowl the depths again, and many thanks to N.H. Fishing Guide Mickey Cunliffe for educating this salmo salar, and documenting it for us …
What a difference a day makes! It went from midsummer temperatures over the last few days back to cold and blustery today. That didn’t stop our guests from getting out on Back Lake, but they really earned their trout today.
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.
Awesome sights today on the Trophy Stretch in Pittsburg, NH, showing some new water to friends that currently reside in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Yes, there’s some salmon in the Trophy Stretch right now, and long time TTL guest Jesse Dupere had a battle with this energetic silver bullet this morning. A Beadhead Flashback Pheasant Tail brought this one to justice, and Jesse let him off to roam the river again.
It’s not a stretch now to say that floating a river in a drift boat may be my favorite way to spend time in pursuit of fish, or just to reset the “spirit meter”. Whether it’s in New England or out West (Montana), there is no substitute for seeing a river in this leisurely way.
