hit the river at 5:30AM.....fly rod guides were frozen up on the 3rd drift.......anyhoo.... for the first time ever I caught a rainbow, brookie, and brown....on the same fly....in the same river.....on the same day

I was pumped....hands were frozen and the river was moving fast.............I lost a rainbow that was steelhead like.....probably 22-24 inches or so.....jumped a bunch....great fight.....going to net it and the hook popped.....yelled to my buddy down stream and he saw me hunched over in dispair and started running up the river because I though I was hurt or something

only took 2 pics because it was so friggin cold.....but here is the type of water I was fishing.....1-3 feet deep

here is a brown....what a day.....only ones there too

Good Job Ben... Take me fishing!

I am starting to think that i need to take the heavy grain of my fly rod and get some floating line. I am getting very upset sitting here reading about everyone still fishing and me not. Just waiting for ice !!!!

I'm thinking the same thing Kev, I have some floating line...but I can't cast a fly rod for crap...I can fake it well tho....

Good job Ben...
Would have been cool to see the rainbow and the brookie in a photo.

No they are gone I am going just right over the NH border. Got to go farther down than that. Stripers are not on my mind right now.

But you do. The mighty mac!!

sst4life · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 18, 2007, 07:26 PM »

I have to agree with the Mac that river still holds my personal best Brown. I also caught my first Atlantic out of that river fishing for bass. You can also drive to the Conn river I dont know how far but that river to this day is my personal favorite for NE.

duck doctor · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 06:05 AM »

I guess I forgot about the Mac because of all the development. If I was going to fish any river right now in hopes of catching a trout, I would go north of Franconia Notch. You know, where New Hampshire really begins!
