My dad took me fishing when I was a kid. That’s how I got started fishing. I was extremely fortunate. Early on two things happened that shaped my fishing. First, not far from my home there was a pond in which the local Lions Club held a kids fishing derby every year. They’d come in and stock the pond for the derby and we were able to fish that pond for weeks after the derby. That got me Trout fishing! The second thing which shaped my fishing happened at the boys club I belonged to. One January they ran a fly tying class. All winter we learned to tie streamers, nymphs, wet, and dry flies. When the course ended in the spring the two instructors took us on a fly fishing trip to Squam Lake. I was hooked!
With years of experiance fishing New Hampshire from the Mass border to the Canadian border, from the coast to the border of Vermont, for the last 10 years I’ve been concentrating on "the North Country". Draw a line horizontally across New Hampshire using Franconia Notch as a guide. Generally, my area of concentration will be north of that line. There are some exceptions, but it makes a good rule of thumb.
Fly Fishing rivers, streams, and brooks for Trout is my passion and I hope to be able to share that passion with you as we experience catching Trout in the varied waters of New Hampshire. Brook, Rainbow, and Brown Trout are available in the many streams and rivers of Northern New Hampshire where I guide. There are small brooks with agressive little Brookies; medium sized streams with Brookies and Rainbows; and large rivers with Landlocked Salmon, Brook, Rainbow, and Brown Trout. From stocked fish, to holdovers, to wild fish. New Hampshire has it all!
I am a Licensed New Hampshire Fishing Guide, and a member in good standing of the New Hampshire Guides Association. For your safety I maintain certification in First Aid as well as CPR and carry with me a well stocked first aid kit.
