Third Connecticut Lake yielded that nice laker that our guest Bob Poehlman and his son caught and released while trolling a couple of days ago. There have been some real nice trout and salmon caught on the Connecticut Lakes this spring, and we’re hoping that the river fishing catches up soon.
Those of you that regularly come to this page are already in to fishing, and the majority of you are probably experienced fly fishers. While this post may not be specifically geared toward you, maybe you know someone that has always wanted to learn how to fly fish, and our Tall Timber Fly Fishing Schools are the perfect place for them to start!
Cindy took this picture the other morning after the cool night weather we just had triggered some more hexes to come off, and our resident smallmouth bass gorged themselves in to oblivion again.
It’s been a while folks … sorry about that. Truth be told, there’s been very little to talk about in regards to our fishy friends lately, but all of that may be changing. Above is this morning’s picture of Back Lake – not iced out yet, but it should be in two more days we’re thinking.
In just a few weeks, Tall Timber will be an exhibitor at The Fly Fishing Show in Marlborough, MA the weekend of January 18 – 20. We hope to see lots of familiar faces and many new ones too – if you’re already a guest, please stop by the booth and say “Hi”, and bring along a fishing friend that hasn’t yet discovered the beauty of the Connecticut Lakes Region.
The Connecticut River opens for fishing activity a mere 18 days from now, and this, of course, leads us to think of warmer, sunnier times from seasons past when we pursued our fishy friends. We received this excellent picture of Ed “Deadly Edly” Hermenau from Denis Fay the other day, showing Ed with a big cutthroat that he caught and released on Montana’s Slough Creek in July of 2012.
