Re: Headed to NH's White Mtns for brookies
Looks like heaven! How big did the biggest brookies go? Looks like they are in the 14-15 inch range. Was the water cold? Trick photography :D Biggest there isn't any larger than 11" or so. Water temps depended on which river or stream you were on, but my Kintrex gave me readings between 61F and 64 ...

Re: Headed to NH's White Mtns for brookies
It was a great trip complete with the obligatory nuisance bear in the campground most nights. I need to download pix off my phone and will upload a bunch here. Those that are Facebook friends have already seen them there. A wild, native brook trout behind every rock for the most part, great scenery,...

Re: Headed to NH's White Mtns for brookies
Hopefully the weather cooperates for tenting...good luck, safe travels!! Thanks. Right now, weather up there is only supposed to be bad (raining) tomorrow and nice the rest of my trip. I have all the gear I will ever need to camp in any weather, so at least I can stay dry regardless. Plus I can sle...

Headed to NH's White Mtns for brookies
Leaving tomorrow morning and tent camping with some of the Native Fish Coalition members and leadership for our first Trout Rendezvous. Lots of water up there, so we will likely hike up smaller tributaries and chase native brook trout. Returning Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and then back to wor...

Re: North East flooding.
I was surprised to hear that this was worse than Hurricane Irene for parts of Vermont. We at the Native Fish Coalition remain concerned about channelization using bulldozers like we saw post Irene. So far, Vermont state government has given us some assurances that they will not allow such broad, non...

The dog days of summer are upon us
So, is anyone still getting out to tailwaters, spring creeks or the smaller and cooler streams for trout or are we all now focused on other species to chase? I am likely headed out for fluke and blues with some buddies on one of their boats tomorrow. I have a 5 day trip later this month for brookies...

Re: Paulinskill by Columbia WMA
I believe that area is all open again now that the dam removal and native plantings are long completed. Trout won't do great in the lower river in summer due to temps, but once the Paulina dam is removed (this year??), it will help cool the river even more. Shad cannot be targeted except in the Dela...

Re: Who fishes the Lehigh River here ?
For those that might not know, he's talking about the "big" Lehigh and not the Little Lehigh. Wish I could help, but that remains one fairly local river I have yet to fish in my lifetime. But I do have my annual PA non resident license this year.....

Re: walking in the river
To be honest I have a pair of Cabelas lightweights that I really like, I had them before and switched to the Korkers cause I fell in love with the fallacy of interchangeable soles. I got another pair now with the felt and studs that I need to start using more. Just need to make sure I keep spare la...

Re: fly rod shad
Nice. I've never targeted them this late. I see how skinny they are post spawn, but that weight will go back on once they start filter feeding heavily once again. They are a blast on a 7 weight!

Re: walking in the river
I wouldn't wear Korkers if you gave me a free pair monthly. They are the only manufacturer whose soles I find at least one of on nearly every fishing trip. That doesn't happen with any other manufacturer. Chota and Simms have done me well over the years and I can own any brand out there and don't h...

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but count me as someone that will never be impressed by the size of any stocked fish.

Re: Fishing Emergers Question
I find a Pheasant tail soft hackle fished dry works on most mayfly hatches as an emerger. Tie them on dry fly hooks and use thread instead of wire....you can also swing it wet....doesn't always work, but it did the other night during a sulphur hatch. I've also been partial to flymphs which is a PT ...
