Re: Headed to NH's White Mtns for brookies
Mostly, yes. Oftentimes, our best action came when we skittered the dries on top. Wild brookies can't ignore a skittering fly.

NFC adds Maryland and Arkansas state chapters
The Native Fish Coalition is continuing to grow rapidly. The message of native, wild fish is a simple and uncomplicated one, and it seems to be resonating throughout the country. NFC is now up to 17 state chapters spanning Maine to Alabama and most states in between. We are seeing some support from ...

Re: Bamboo rod repair
A second for Dennis Menscer, but as noted, he's upstate on the lower WBD. He used to do business through Shannon's and come down monthly, but I'm not sure if that relationship has continued since Jim's passing. But he makes and repairs bamboo.

Re: Who here center pins ?
Personally, I could care less how others fish 1) so long as it's legal and 2) so long as it's not over the top of where I'm fishing. As soon as a pinner starts to drift over where I'm fishing, I reach for this and force him to lose some line....

Re: Who here center pins ?
No thanks. I was next to one of these things once. he thought the whole river was his, drifting many many yards in front of me and others.... Nope, not for me. I saw a couple of guys on the Flatbrook and Musky center pin fishing. Might as well just use spinning gear unless you're on the really big ...

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...
