It is here once again, although slightly delayed by our long North Country winter. The best time to fish the Mount Washington Valley is now! We have mayflies hatching, caddis worms wiggling and stone flies crawling. We have ravenous trout looking to eat any or all of them.
Our ponds have been hot, hot, hot! Just the other night I hiked into one of the remote ponds and caught a dozen feisty trout. It was a mix of hatchery and wild brook trout, all as beautiful as a brook trout can be. Emergers and soft hackles were doing the job that night and it was so relaxing to just float in the pond casting and catching.
New this year, we have guide service available if you want to try a float tube trip. I would highly recommend it as there is really nothing like it here in the White Mountains. Floating around a quiet pond with trout jumping and beavers splashing is just what the doctor ordered. You can purchase a trip on our website by typing GUIDE in the search bar. You won't regret it.
If you like to do the self guide thing, stop by the shop and pick up one of our famous North Country Angler fishing maps. We will highlight a couple of places for you to try, sell you some flies, and send you out for a fun day on the water.
And always remember to TRUST YOUR FLY!
