I was able to get out to the Lamprey River on Saturday, which was probably the last time for a couple weeks because I am getting married Friday and then will be in Europe for two weeks for the honeymoon.

I have been to the spot on Lee Hook Road but decided to try Packers Falls Saturday morning and was highly dissapointed.  There were a lot of other people there using spinning rods and no one was catching anything.  In addition, it was a difficult section to wade.  I stayed for about an hour and decided to move on.  I was going to try a pond in Barrington that Fish Carva suggested but passed Wiswall Road on the way and remembered there was a damn on that road that was supposed to be a good spot.

So I pulled down the road and came to the damn with a dirt parking lot next to it.  I was going to just check it out and not fish and then head to the pond.  I walked down the path and there was only one other person fishing from the other side of the river.  The path was a little walk through high grass and woods with paths that broke off to go down to the river.  I was down at the edge of the water and saw the guy fishing across the river slam a trout so I decided to throw on my waters and give it a try.

I started pretty far down from the damn and immediately started getting bites.  I worked my way up the river for about an hour and caught 5 or 6 fish and didn't even get all the way back up to the damn!  I can't wait to go back!  I need to start to remember to take some pictures.

 Nice work.  You did exactly what i would have done.  I don't know a lot about that area, but a good friend of mine from another website, took me fishing down there and showed me packer's falls and Wiswall dam.  Sadly Wiswall was under construction at the time, so I couldn't fish it, but it now has a fish ladder, and that isn't so sad.

Congrats on you wedding, and I hope you enjoy your honeymoon.  It sounds like fun.  Maybe if your wife is tolerant of such things you could pack a rod and try some european fishing.  I'd love to hear about it, if you do.  If not just enjoy it, because time spent with loved ones is never a waste.
