Why is it that the BIG STORM is always BIG because it effect those below the mountains?? I've now heard reference to the storm of 1978 which was actually a little less severe than the storm of 2003. It was a long time ago but when moved from the coast to the NH White Mountains in January of 1969 I was welcomed with a 2' storm my first night. That storm was followed by another 2' the next night.Keep in mind that my job required that I spend most of the winter on snow shoes By the end of winter we had accumulated nearly 7' of snow in the north country. As I remeber it COOS country had even more. The following winter 1970 was only slightly better. NH lost nearly half of its deer herd during that time. We ice fished during both winters using snow shoes and toboggans and making holes with chisels or one of the newfangled spoon augers.We used canvas wind breaks and a bucket of charcoal to toast sanwiches. We had a great time but nothing I would want to do now.So, is it too much to turn off all the wimpy whining. This is just an old fashioned nor-easter and it should might even improve the fishing.Drive slowly and get around safetly. It could be a really exciting event. We never drove on the ice and I don't think anyone should.If you don't have snow shoes you should buy a pair. Don't forget your shovel. This is no shocking event. Remember the Almanac warned us that this would be a snowy winter, now it is Good luck to Derby fishermen. I'm going to be on the Conn. River trying for a monster perch or pickerel. A few years ago my spot produced an 8lb rainbow that is now on my wall. At least the Sunday forecast is great for the end of the Derby Good LuckDick
Hi Dick. I remember those spoon augers. Got one for Xmas from my parents in the late 60's. The good ole days. Take a picture of that bow we would love to see it. Good luck on the CT. Any northerns there?
I guess this would be my best NH rainbow? My son is holding it.Dick(Image removed from quote.)
looks more like a monster brookie than rainbow?
Here is my grandson , at exact same spot, with his biggest brown of last season.Dick(Image removed from quote.)
definitely a rainbow and a stud one at that! that is a fish people dream about
oh ya its pretty cool how different each fish can look, this one looks pretty simialr to spawning colors some get real dark and some get real vibrant bands. I would have almost mistaken it for a fish that has been in the river for a while.
Yeah when i went pink salmon fishing in Alaska, the males i caught look like this rainbow lol
that must have been a blast!
Nice fish. I couldn't help but notice the bluebird skies and shortage of snow in both pics. Maybe a stormier photo would have been more appropriate for your headline.
Nice Rainbow indeed! Jigged in a cute little lol 14" this morning for myself after shoveling out the bobhouse in North Woodstock early this morning. Fish have been skiddish past few days. Looking at solar calendar looks like tomorrow should be a great day 6:00 a.m. tip time for me. Not Derby Fishing, Just Fishing Baby, Just Fishing !!
