JOHN BUCKLEY

Currently, I Guide out of the North Country Angler fly shop in North Conway. Although I will Guide you on any river or stream you wish, providing I feel competent to do so (I don’t know every river and stream in this state), I specialize on the rivers and streams above Franconia Notch west and north of Mt Washington. For guided fly fishing adventures east of Mt Washington, I highly recommend my fellow Guides at the North Country Angler. Guided drift boat adventures are also available through the shop.

Guiding "from the notch on up" gives me an abundance of really good water to work with. There are many, many streams and rivers between Franconia Notch and the top end of Pittsburg that you can choose from, so I’ve culled out some of the best rivers up here to feature. Rivers such as the Ammonoosuc, Israel, and Upper Pemigewassett have been staples for years. Of course, the two major rivers in New Hampshire, the Connecticut and Androscoggin, are also on the list. For a description of these "featured" rivers and pricing check out the Book a Trip page.

I am a Licensed New Hampshire Fishing Guide. For your safety I maintain certification in First Aid and CPR as well as maintain a well stocked first aid kit.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you soon!
