Thin Blue Line
« on: Jul 31, 2023, 06:48 AM »
Headed to the mountains yesterday to enjoy the cooler, drier weather.  Hit one of my go-to streams and found the flows perfect, water temps chilly and the native brookies abundant and as gorgeous as ever.  Most around 4-5" but one a legit 8", mostly on terrestrials with my 2-wt.

Very nice! I was in Pittsburg this weekend and everything is still raging chocolate milk up there.

Had last week off and spent almost all of it in the Littleton area. Don't have a lot to report other than good pics and good food and beers at the local spots- fished the amunoosuc most days but I'm still learning how to fly fish by trial and error. Weather was very nice though.

Anyways, sorry to hijack the thread but glad your efforts seemed to be a bit more rewarding than mine. Good stuff

Real nice!

Thanks Jon!  Almost as nice as those buttery browns you're catching down in CT.  Love that you're doing the mousin' thing.

No hijack at all.  I actually started at the Ammonoosuc River but it was mobbed from Twin Mountain to Bretton Woods.  4-5 cars at ever pull-off and bridge, lots of them with rod vaults on their roofs and Simms stickers on their back windows.  Saw a few stockies (rainbows) caught on bait and hardware but nothing on flies that I could tell.  Didn't take me long to head into the woods, gaining elevation along the way, and focusing on the little native jewels.

Thanks brother!  Open invite whenever.  Always nice to have backup against the night creatures.

Usually pays off to get away from the crowds. Ammonossuc wasn't very busy at all most places I went (Littleton/ Lisbon/ Bath area) but maybe that tells me something as nothing seemed to be buying what I was selling. Haha. I have a lot more to explore up there, hopefully I'll get a good amount of weekends in when I get the chance the next couple of months. It's all part of the fun.
