Not NH but I spent June mainly muskie fishing. Ended up with 19 fish, 11 over 40 inches and the biggest at 44. Mostly on stickbaits and gliders but a few on in-line spinners.I (we) also had 4 native brookies over 3 1/2 pounds with the biggest at 4 1/2 All on spoons. All but one released but we did eat a good number of sub-3 pound trout. We also had 4 salmon over 7 pounds this year. All on spoons. All bigger fish released and a number of smaller ones were fried. Caught one togue this year...one.. On a stickbait.I guess if pinned down, the fish I'm most proud of (personal best??) would be the 44 inch muskie.
I did a trip to Ross a couple years ago. That was when Don and Andrea Lavoie were there. Awesome time! The Whitefish fishing is very hit or miss. Lake Trout fishing is phenomenal and brookies are pretty good too. Cusk fishing is like clock work once the sun gets low and you jig bottom. I know the old owners could pick you up if you really needed it, not sure about the new ownership though. Its a wild ride and a whole different world over there though. Loved it. Extremely remote. Nosaj over on ice shanty used to do a group trip every year, not sure when the last time he went was.
That's great information. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I'll get up there someday. Didn't know the Lavoies aren't still involved. Too bad.
I am envious of that laker. I caught a few that big open water this year but can't seem to break 35" through the ice. I got them to eat very large baits.
If you ever want more info definitely let me know! Funny enough, I actually tagged along with Adrien on that Canadian trip so i was in good hands. I know that Andrea and Don basically showed the new owners the ins and outs of the operation for about 1-1.5 years. The owners were also long time customers to my knowledge so I am sure people will still have an awesome experience! Lots of different lakes up there to fish. Definitely a cool experience all around.
Pure strain or Tiger?
