First day out this year!

I got out on the water for the first time this year. No fish, but I felt like I was fishing on a postcard card.

Trout Fishing is a bit different here.

Well, when I was in New Jersey, I could fish for trout pretty much all year round. Here in New Hampshire, to my surprise, the last day of trout fishing in the rivers is October 15th. My boss heard me say this and gave me a half day off so I could wet a line.

I fished two local streams, the East branch of the Saco River and the Ellis River, both to no avail. It was certainly nice to get out and feel the cool stream around my legs. I will certainly do some more exploring come springtime.

East Branch of the Soco. Fished the Flat Rocks area.

The Ellis River. I fished from Timmy’s Bridge upstream about a 1/4 of a mile.

Wild Trout

I love fishing for wild trout. Most people don’t think of New Jersey when they think of wild trout, but I caught these beauties in a local stream. I’m told this stream has not been stocked in at least 30 years.
