Hi,

I primarily fly fish for striped bass in the saltwater, but recently have started fly fishing for trout in the fall in Southern New Hampshire.  I found the forum while looking for information on fly fishing opportunities in the White Mountains.  I did some car camping/hiking last summer and would like to expand my horizons a bit and try some backcountry fishing/backpacking this summer.  I've already read some of the articles and reports from the main page and have scribbled out a page of notes for future research.

 

Thanks,

 

-- TomS

 Good to have you aboard Tom.  I'm sure we can help you find some new territories to fish, as we seek them out ourselves.  

 

We enjoy helping people out here, and look foward to your participation in our conversations and stories.

Hello Tom welcome to Lee's fishing site.  Great bunch of folks here form all walks of life. All age groups to. Some young and some not so young . They know who they are Mr. Green   As Theron said there are good folk here willing to share the way. You won't find a bad egg among the group.  He said it best in another post. We are family brothers with rod and reel. Best damn group of men you will ever come across. Jump right in join in on the conversation. Looking fwd to what you might add. Dave V

Excellent.. A quick update, and typical of my "luck"..

 

Spent a couple of hours reading through trip reports/articles on here and came to the conclusion that Rocky Branch sounded like a great spot to start with and do some follow-on research, etc.  Long story short, after some more research I ended up visiting the AMC online map area and discovered that the southern section of the Rocky Branch trail has been closed since the hurricane last fall.  I'll keep an eye out to see if things progress once we get a little deeper into the spring.

 

Last fall I started having trouble with my shoulder and bought a tenkara rod.   I used it exclusively over the winter and have had lots of fun with it.  I mostly use it indicator/nymph fishing (far from the traditional tenkara methods) but think it would be a great tool for fishing the White Mountain streams.  Since it collapses down on itself and doesn't need a reel, it slips right into one of the side pockets in my backpack.
