I am already starting to think ahead to next year, with hopes of helping many new and repeat clients get to places that they have never been before. I can not begin to tell you how grateful that I am to be able to bring people to areas that I consider to be paradise. The experiences and memories that are created during a day on the water, will last many anglers a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who was able to spend some time on the water with me this year and I hope that we continue to cross paths for many years to come! </p><p>I am booking into July and August for next season already... If you are able to plan ahead please feel free to shoot me a text anytime and we can get you in the books! 603-770-5876</p><p>Here are a few of my favorites from the season 2021 season:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The rivers are flowing, the bugs are hatching and we will be fishing.<br />

Early in the season we got hit hard with cancellations. People were nervous about the situation, and rightfully so. Fortunately, my longtime clients stepped up to the plate, and kept us afloat until State regulations changed.<br />

In early June, we got the good news that our lodges would be reopening. It was time to get rolling. With safety precautions in place, my guests felt more comfortable with rebooking. It was time to settle into our new normal.<br />

Another "not so normal" guiding season has begun. My hope is that fishing will become a refuge to people who need it. I have said it many times, whenever things get difficult, head to a river. There is no better place to clear your mind and focus solely on the moment.<br />
<br />
For up-to-date reports on our fishing, please head to the Fish Story Guide Service Facebook page, located in the tab above. If you would like my availability for July and August, please send me an email at patrick@fishstoryguideservice.com. You can also contact me by phone at 603-770-5876.<br />
<br />
As always, thank you for your support and we hope to see you out on the rivers.<br />

The title pretty much sums it up! This was a record setting year for Fish Story Guide Service! I guided more trips than I ever have and had a blast doing it. The Pittsburg season was unbelievable in a variety of ways. We found numbers of fish, large fish and had just about perfect fishing conditions all season long. The fall salmon trips were the most productive that I have ever seen and most fish were in the 16-21" range. Double digit fish days happened quite a few times in the last few weeks of the season. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please consider buying a gift certificate for a 2020 trip as a holiday gift! I am already filling my books for my spring "Lake Run" trips as well as Pittsburg trips. Prime dates go the quickest, so please start planning now if you want a shot at the best days on the water! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will also be selling specialty flies in 2020 as well! Most of my "Guide Patterns" will be available for purchase. If you want a batch of some of my most productive flies that I use, please feel free to send me an email or give me a buzz on the phone for the details on pricing! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The "Fly Fish NH" show will be held on February 22nd,<span style="background-color: white;"> at<span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> the Best Western Executive Court in Manchester. </span></span>I will once again have a booth set up.

I am really happy to finally be back, full time in Pittsburg for the season! School got out a bit earlier this year, which really helped set up my June bookings. I still have a couple of dates left for the end of June and plenty of available days open in July and August! <br />
<br />
The fishing has been fantastic with lots of large holdover and stocked fish in the mix. The water flows are great and there are even some large salmon still around!<br />

<br />
I am really excited to get my repeat guests, as well as a bunch of 1st timers, out on the river!<br />
<br />
The normal bugs are hatching and the usual flies are producing. My Feedinators, BWO Emergers, San Juans, Pittsburg Buggers, Eggs and even a few dry Caddis and Foam flies have been doing the trick! The Hex hatch is a bit behind normal, but I did actually see a hex late last week, in a picture that my father sent to me, on Back Lake. I bet that by the end of next week things should be starting to heat up if you like searching for rising trout on big dries!<br />
<br />
I hope that this update finds you healthy, happy and fishing! Be sure to check the Facebook Page on the tab above, for the most frequent updates, reports, videos and pictures! Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or would like to book a trip! Thank you as always! <br />

Here is the Spring Fishing Update! We have been all over the middle of the state since the beginning of April and the fishing has just been fantastic! The quality of the fish that we have been getting into has been beyond my expectations for this time of year. Salmon in the 18-22 inch range have been common! Rainbows in the 15-20 inch range have been landed! But I get ahead of myself....<br />
<br />
Rewind to late March as scouting had just begun. I got together with a good friend of mine and hit some early season areas. A few fish were around, but the water temp was in the high 30's. A few weeks later spring had sprung and the water temps finally hit those magic numbers! The suckers came up and into the rivers and closely following them were the rainbows. It was all about the egg patterns for a few days at that point. I saw water temps rise by almost 10 degrees in less than a week. I usually don't like it happening that fast as it can shut off the run completely, but it was great to see a big push of fish for happy clients to hook up with! The suckers came and left all within a few days, but with the higher water temps the salmon had come up into the rivers as well. Mostly my Feedinators and Eggs were the go to patterns, but streamers came into play when the salmon arrived as well. <br />

<br />
So here we are on April 28th, the water temps plummeted 8 degrees in less than two days and put the fishing at a stalled out pace. Now, we still hooked plenty of fish to keep it interesting, but it definitely was not as frantic as it was a week ago. That being said, I am hoping that this cooler weather may prolong the run into early May. The huge factor here, other than water temp, will be water level. We are at flood stage in many of my "Go To" spots at the moment due to the amount of rain we have had lately. If the flows come down steadily this should be good for the long run as well. <br />
I will be sure to do a summer update on this website, but please be sure to follow daily updates on everything that we do at: www.facebook.com/fishstoryguideservice . This is the place to go to see videos, pictures and more fishing reports each week! Please check out and subscribe to the Fish Story Guide Service YouTube page as well. It can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNvoqEeG-jZZO986h-gNZg/videos .<br />
<br />
As the spring winds down, my focus will shift to Pittsburg. At this moment I do still have some June dates available as well as plenty of openings for July and August. I am booking as many trips as possible this year and hope to get back out on the water with many long time guests as well as new ones! Thank you as always!<br />

A new season is upon us and I am ready to make this the best one yet! I have been updating the Facebook page and YouTube page with videos and pictures from the end of last season as well as videos from my 10 year archive. You can access those from the tabs up above. Please feel free to "Share", "Like" and "Subscribe!" We will be at the "Fly Fish New Hampshire Show" on Saturday February 23rd and I look forward to chatting it up with everyone! I will have some flies with me as well as my Fly Show Deals for booking a trip as well. My books have been filling since late last fall and my "Prime Dates" are filling fast by my yearly clients. I still have lots of great Pittsburg openings for the summer as well as a few early season "lake run" fish trips. If you are interested, be sure to get in touch soon! <br />
The blast of 50 degree weather we had earlier in the week certainly got my fishing blood pumping and once we hit March, it is game on! If you have any questions or just want to chat fly fishing, you can always get me through email or on the phone. If you have ever wanted to check out the great north woods and Pittsburg New Hampshire fly fishing, make this year the time to do it! Thank you as always and keep in touch!<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Patrick<br />

I know it seems like a long delay in posts, but such is life! Since the last update I have become a father and have adjusted well to the new schedule! I have made a few big updates to the Website and wanted to share them with you. First off, I added a link to the brand new Fish Story Guide Service YouTube page. This is where I will post an archive of videos from all of my fly fishing adventures. I have years worth of videos that I am in the process of uploading and would love to get more subscribers! <br />
Next, I put a link to the official Fish Story Guide Service Facebook Page. This is where I actually do my most regular updates and posts. I put videos, pictures, stories and more on this page all season long. If you want the latest and greatest, this is the place to go! This is also the best way to get ahold of me quickly during the season. <br />
I have already started booking many trips for 2019. If you are looking for specific "prime time" dates, now is that time to get in the books! If you have any questions feel free to let me know!<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful fishing year and I can't wait to get back out on the water with you in 2019! <br />

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a quick update here on our spring/early summer fishing. I am posting regular videos and pictures frequently on the Facebook page, but I wanted to get things up to date here as well. <br />
<br />
Lets start with the spring! We fished the lakes region many times and the fishing was very consistent with large fish always in the mix. Lots of nymphs, Feedinators, eggs and San Juan's were the ticket most days. Here are a few of the nicer fish from the spring trips:<br />

It was a great spring with water flows just about at the perfect level, but I was really looking forward to getting back up north!<br />
<br />
I am finally back living in Pittsburg for the summer and within the first week of guiding, I could tell that the conditions are exactly where they are supposed to be. We have been all over the trophy stretch and other less known areas of the river. The fish have mostly been rainbows in the 8-12" range with a few 14-16" fish thrown in to keep it interesting. We found some browns, brookies and even still some nice salmon in the mix as well. We even got out in the canoe one evening trip for the Hex hatch. Here are some of the nicer fish of early summer in Pittsburg.<br />

I got out today for a quick scouting trip and found water temps hovering around 40. We need a bit of warm weather to really get the fish moving, but as you can see there are some to be had if you work for them! Looking forward to the start of the guiding season next week! Things are shaping up and should only get better from here! I am still booking trips for Pittsburg this June, July and August, so if you are interested in learning a new skill, technique or area, please feel free to let me know!

Time that I update everyone with how the late summer and fall season went up in Pittsburg. But it is also "always about time." How much time we have to do the things we love to do and how much time it takes to accomplish the things that allow us to do it! Confused yet? That pretty much sums up the whirlwind of everything that happened this fall for me. The plan was to have a normal and relaxing fall and make some big life decisions come next spring. Life had other things in mind and my wife and I decided now was the time to sell our house in Raymond and move a bit farther north to Loudon N.H. All of this took place right in the middle of the best fall fishing season and some sacrifices were made in order to accomplish the goal. The best way to describe my fall was organized chaos. I had all the plans in place, but I needed to execute the plans at exactly the right time. Ah, there it is again. TIME. Even with all of the craziness, I still did have enough of it, to get out on the water and have a blast with a mix of new and repeat guests. <br />
<br />
Lets rewind a bit to July and August:<br />

I could go on and on and tell you all of the stories from each of these fish, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words! What I will tell you is that I had some of the most enjoyable trips of my guiding career this summer. Not because of the fish that were caught but because of the people I was able to share the time on the water with. <br />
<br />
Once I headed back to my teaching job in late August, as I mentioned earlier, time on the water became a bit tricky to find. That didn't stop us from fitting in a few last minute trips to see what September and October in Pittsburg had up its sleeve this year. <br />

The fall colors of a brook trout and spectacular leaping ability of a salmon are what the autumn season in Pittsburg means to me. It is the reason I always get on the water no matter what is happening in my life. I would feel a void in my soul if I didn't. <br />
<br />
I was able to get back on the water a few times during late October and November as well. <br />

Yes, those last few fish were not from N.H. They were caught out in New York on the Salmon River. They were just too pretty not to share though!<br />
<br />
Overall things have finally started to settle down in my life. I am hoping that 2018 will bring more wonderful guests to the rivers and streams that I love to share so much. The time to start thinking about booking 2018 trips is now. Each year I have repeat clients who jump on prime fishing dates and get their trips in the books. If you are interested in hearing what I have to offer as a guide and what our trips entail, please feel free to email me anytime! I would love to chat with you and create a plan that helps you fulfill a fly fishing trip that you have always wanted! <br />
<br />
Keep in touch, happy holidays and hears to a happy new year!<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer has
arrived in the North Country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ask anyone
around and they will say that it took a little longer than usual to get here
this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cold and wet month of May
was good for prolonging the salmon run, but it slowed the warming of the rivers
as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Pittsburg Anglers
association once again did a great job with stocking the Trophy Stretch in
order to kick off the spring fishing, but the fish that were put in seemed to
be a bi tricky to find at first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As May
rolled into June the water temps still struggled to reach 55 degrees which was
slowing the fishing a bit and the hatches as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrapped up
teaching in the middle of June and was itching to move back to my summer home
in Pittsburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the truck packed to
the cap, I was off to continue a tradition of guiding and fishing in my
favorite place in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
guiding within a day of getting here and with two more bonus stockings from NH
Fish and Game, the fishing was finally how it should be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me re-phrase that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fishing was UNREAL!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can remember times over the years that the
fishing has been great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that the
fishing in our memories has a way of becoming even better each time that it is
recalled, but there have been years that were outstanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, so far, has been the best that I
can remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are not only LOTS of
fish in the river, but there are some absolute MONSTERS in there as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people say, “oh, they are just stocked
fish.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this may be true of some of
the huge brook trout caught lately, I don’t care who you are, fighting a 5-6 lb
brook trout on a fly rod, in a beautiful river, is just plain fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just a week later
Winslow got in on the action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be
honest we were fishing in a very well known area and had been catching plenty
of stocked fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a mix of
large brookies in this pool and I actually thought for sure it was another
large one when he hooked this fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
I saw it leap!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instantly I knew we were into
something special for this section of river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After three more drag screaming runs and great angling skill on Winslow’s
part, we netted this monster rainbow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was second guessing myself as to whether it was just a big rainbow that Fish
and Game had thrown in, or if it was a really old holdover fish from years
past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I got a good look it was
pretty clear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fish had two BAIT
hooks stuck in its mouth!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only way
that could have happened was if this fish had broken two different anglers off
down at the lake and then traveled all the way up into the Trophy Stretch
during the spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A true holdover
monster that measured 20” on the nose!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What an old warrior this fish was!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hex Hatch on
Back Lake has been a bit slow this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Actually the hatching of the Hexes seems to be going just great, but the
fish just don’t seem to be cueing in on them with reckless abandon like
normal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said I did get out
last night and landed 5 nice rainbows along with a handful of “Red Eyed Demons.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hitting the Hex Hatch on Back Lake is one of

Fish Story Guide Servicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06966593936673296242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704035532438949671.post-21344833517111521542017-04-29T05:13:00.000-07:002017-04-29T05:13:48.242-07:00New Beginnings ... Here we are folks. The beginning of a new fishing season is upon us. It is difficult to describe all of the feelings I have when thinking about the upcoming year of fishing. I am so excited to get out on the water with repeat clients and meet new ones. The relationships you forge with someone during hours of time spent on the rivers is something unique. It is not all just about catching fish. It is so much more than that. It is about sharing a passion and letting someone else get a glimpse of what it is that truly makes you tick. "Welcome to my world," is a phrase that often comes out of my mouth during first trips with new clients. This is not a sarcastic phrase, this is a sincere welcome to them and a hope that they will be able to appreciate and fully experience the sport of fly fishing.<br />
I have been in Pittsburg for a few days and just going out to my "home" water and visiting familiar pools, puts my busy mind at ease. I have quite a few things going on in my life at the moment, the most important of which is my wedding at the end of May. The stress of getting the plans just right can loom large on your mind after a while, but time spent on a beautiful river can help me melt the stress and look at life on a larger scale. What really means the most in life to you? I can't say that fly fishing matters most to me because it doesn't. My soon to be wife and hopefully family will continue to be the most important thing as time rolls on. But fly fishing will always be there for me when I need to decompress from a long stretch of work or think about how to get through a difficult time. It is a constant that is dependable no matter what outside influences try to change it. The woods, lakes, streams and rivers are not what make my life, they are what help me be a better man, husband and eventually father someday. For this I will be forever grateful. <br />
So what about the fishing? Well everything is very high up here right now. Snowmelt, rainfall, river levels, you name it. I have been scouting all of the usual early season areas and we are right on track for a great spring. I started guiding a few weeks ago and right off the bat we were catching fish in the southern and middle parts of the state. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The Pittsburg area is just about where I thought it should be for this time of year. The ice went out on Lake Francis and Back Lake on April 28th and I am guessing 1st Lake will be out by the 30th. With that comes the opportunity to get into some spring salmon. As of right now our flows are 800 out of 2nd Lake Dam, 400 out of 1st and over 1000cfs out of Murphy. That is high all around, but early season I would rather have it high. Hopefully this will bode well for the rest of the spring and summer. I wanted to feel the tug, so I headed out in the canoe and paddled some ponds. I was actually able to sight fish for brook trout with high sunshine overhead. It was a fun little trip with a bunch of fish to net. </span></div>

I hope this update finds you happy and ready to start the new season if you haven't already! If you are interested in setting up a trip in Pittsburg for June, July or August, please feel free to let me know. Dates are filling fast this season, so don't wait! Thank you as always!<br />

Here is the best way to get ahold of me:<br />

I have been putting most of the quick updates on the Fish Story Guide Service Facebook Page lately, but I figured it wouldn't be a bad thing to put some recent outings here as well! <br />
I have been guiding more than ever this summer and with a wedding in the near future it is actually fairly important for me to do so. I booked as many trips as I physically had time for this summer and even had to send a few "sports" to friends. The trips that we were able to get out on were fantastic though. I would venture to say that this may have been the most consistent fishing from May - August that I can ever remember in Pittsburg. There were lots of worries early with low water levels but most everyone assumed that the rain would come at some point. Unfortunately, the rain did not come at all and the flows in the Trophy Stretch were at 125 cfs for almost the entire summer. Fortunately, they did not go any lower and the water temp stayed under 70 which was the most important thing. <br />
I thoroughly enjoyed guiding all of my "sports" this summer and remember specific highlights of each trip. <br />
*Getting a chance to teach my fiancé was certainly a highlight and I look forward to watching her enjoy being on the water for years to come. <br />
<br />
*I got my brother out and that was a long time coming. We had talked about it for years and finally accomplished the goal. <br />
<br />
*I was able to get my future father in law in the river and he had a successful day as well. <br />
<br />
*Hopper fishing with multiple sets of "sports" was just action packed and very enjoyable. <br />
<br />
*Getting into lots of nice LL Salmon even under low water conditions was a pleasant surprise.<br />
<br />
*Fishing with friends on my "home" water was just the icing on the cake.<br />
<br />
The best flies for us lately are as follows:<br />
<br />
- Patrick's Pink and Red San Juans<br />
- Patrick's BWO Emerger<br />
- Patrick's Feedinators in all three colors<br />
- Patrick's Egg Patterns <br />
- Hoppers<br />
- Emerginators<br />
- Caddis Dry<br />
- Sulfur Dry<br />
<br />
Another key point is using light tippet. 4X and 5X are not pulling nearly as many fish this time of year. I am on 6X most days. <br />

I will be returning back to "the fake real world" in a couple of weeks and I will miss all that guiding the summer in Pittsburg gives to me. The refreshed mindset. The time with family and friends. The days on the river that I wish would never end. But as with all things, if it were fantastic all the time, it would lose its allure. Like the seasons, we move in a circle and some stops are more enjoyable than others along the way. <br />
<br />
I hope to see you all on the river!<br />

Ok so maybe it wasn't as comical as that scene from "A River Runs Through It", but when my brother finally asked me to take him out fly fishing, the thought did pass through my mind. <br />
<br />
I have been waiting patiently for the day when my brother actually had the time to get out on the water with me. We have had many adventures over the years together, but we just never seemed to line up our schedules for a real fly fishing trip. Well a few weeks ago it happened. Lance was able to get up to Pittsburg and I did not have a guide trip, so we went for it! After gearing up at the camp and making sure that he did indeed have a fishing license, (which we had to reprint at Treats and Treasures), we were off to the river! <br />
The situation was classic. The anticipation of all the fish I would be able to help him catch was finally coming into sight! You see, I have been telling him for years how he would be catching fish after fish and how my clients have been having great days lately. In my head it was going to be easy. I guess that was my first mistake. I should have known better, as teaching a family member is always one of the trickiest things to do. <br />
Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea. He caught fish. It just took us a bit longer to make it happen than I had initially thought it might. We started off in the "Bear Pool" which had been producing quite well as of late, and after an hour of fishing had only one fish on that came unbuttoned before we could get it to net. It was certainly not the fisherman's fault either. His hook sets were quick and strong, his presentation was dang near flawless, but the fish were being fish. Subtle takes and short strikes were the theme of the day. We couldn't just have one of those afternoons where the fish were just slamming the flies to make it easy?! Nope. But that is fishing. <br />
We kept moving down river and finally got into a couple of runs where the fish were doing their normal feeding and what a difference. Lance was hooking up and we were landing fish! Now I do remember his first fish that he landed and I do remember the big battle with a monster that got away. But most of all I remember the things in between. I remember how I was looking forward to that day. I remember how we hiked through the woods from pool to pool and how we talked about fly fishing and life in general. I remember thinking we should do this more often. I remember the feeling that not everyone gets to share an afternoon on the water with their brother doing their favorite pastime and how lucky we were to have had that opportunity. <br />
The day came to a close and we headed back to the camp for some food and drinks. All I am left with now is that fond memory and the anticipation of the next time that we can venture back into the river as brothers.<br />

<br />
I have been in Pittsburg for over two weeks now and I can already feel the frustrations of living "down below" slowly leaving my soul. My thoughts are clear, my energy is revived and my way of life is back to who I truly am. I have been extremely fortunate to have found a fiancé who has the same love of the outdoors that I do and have recently gotten her to join me on the river. She is a quick learner and very simply, a natural fly fisherman. You can tell a lot about a person by how they handle themselves on a river and she does not disappoint me in any way.<br />

I was actually able to get my father out of his beloved "Trophy Stretch" and he was rewarded for it! We went a bit farther south and got into some larger fish rather than numbers of fish. First up was a nice 17" fat brown to tie my father's personal record brown trout. This would have been plenty of fun for the morning but he was not finished yet. One hour from the remarkable first trout, my father hooked a much larger beast. After a great battle he now had his new personal best brown trout measured at 20" and pushing 5 lbs for sure. Needless to say I think that he may be spending a bit more time away from The Trophy Stretch in the near future. </div>

I am in "full guiding mode" at the moment as well. We had the annual Trout Unlimited Kid's Fly Fishing Camp about a week ago and it went very smoothly. I was the assistant director of the camp for the first two years it was held and now I am able to just be a counselor and guide for the kids. Next years camp will be the 10th annual! This camp is something I hold very dear to my heart and will be a part of it in some way for the rest of my life.</div>

I was able to have some of my good friends up to camp during last week as well. We were able to share many good laughs, good drinks and good meals which always seem to make time fly faster than you would want. These times are replaced by great memories though, which will stay with us forever. We also got out on the river one evening and it was one of the best nights I have ever had! After watching patiently for a caddis hatch to materialize for over an hour, the bugs were enticing enough for some large fish to start feeding on the surface. I positioned myself carefully and waited for the larger fish to get comfortable with his meal. After many large swirls, I cast out my size 16 "Murphy Caddis", (pattern created by my buddy Jake), and watched it drift. The whole time I was hoping that when I tied the fly the night before, that it would look good enough to fool a large, smart fish. Well, on the first cast the fly was thrashed hard by a very large fish. I set the hook hard, but carefully, knowing that my 6x tippet would not handle excessive abuse. After a long battle, filled with leaps and powerful runs down river, we had corralled the beast into the net. Without the help of my friend Jake, the end result may have been utter disappointment rather than pure elation and I am very thankful for his help. What we found in the net was my largest brown trout caught on a dry fly, on 6x tippet of my entire life! It measured 22" and was estimated at 7+ lbs. Pittsburg Magic is alive and well this summer!</div>

I used to love getting out and fishing for Stripers. Over the years I have slowly lost the free time that it takes for me to get to the salt and in recent years I have not been able to get out at all. Well, I made a deal with myself this year. I would at least get out and cast a fly for Stripers once, no matter what it took. My first effort was a trip down to my old stomping grounds of Plum Island in May. I rigged up my 7wt fly rod and reel with a sinking intermediate fly line and grabbed my 7 year old hand tied saltwater flies and headed for the Merrimack River. I planned it out so that I would be fishing the last 3 hours of a dropping tide on the river side of Plum Island. From my days of really getting into Stripers I had remembered that this was usually when the fishing was best. I hopped in and immediately started to hook lots of "little", yet very strong and fun Striped Bass. I enjoyed a hand full of fish up to 16 inches over a few hours and I was happy. <br />
Next up I got lucky and mixed a "date night" with some Striper fishing in NH. My fiancé was in the mood for some seafood and I just love Brown's restaurant in Seabrook, so we ate and then I fished. I hit the river directly behind Brown's and planned for it to be incoming tide and the fishing was great! I think I landed close to double digits with a couple of fish pushing the 20" mark. This was right before dusk with a wonderful sunset to boot. <br />
So not only did I get out twice, but I actually was able to land fish each time! I figured this would be about it for my Striper fishing for the year, but then I made a quick call to Zak Robinson. I met Zak at the NH Fly fishing booth this winter and we agreed it might be fun to "swap" trips if we ever had the chance. So he happened to have a few free hours and so did I am we made it happen! I met Zak over at Pierce Island and was able to enjoy some great fishing on his boat. Zak showed me how it was done as I have never cast to Stripers from a boat before. We zipped around the river looking for breaking fish and when we did, we cruised up to the edge of the pod and I double hauled a fly into the mix. BAM! The fish were on it! This was just a visually exciting way to cover ground and catch some nice fish. I was so pumped to be able to get out and give this type of fishing a shot and I can certainly recommend Zak's service to anyone out there! <br />
I am not sure that I will get back out for Stripers again this year as it is time to head to Pittsburg for my summer of guiding, but the next time I get the itch I will look back on these trips and just GO!<br />

<span id="goog_1365777809"></span><span id="goog_1365777810"> I just turned 32 years old and I was in Pittsburg when it happened. I was in my favorite place in the world with two of my favorite people (fiancé and father), catching my favorite fish (Salmon), on one of my favorite stretches of river. If there was ever a better birthday gift I can not think of it! Here are a couple of pictures, but be sure to check out the new Facebook page for videos and updates as well! I still have some spots available for June, July and August in Pittsburg, but they are filling in fast! Let me know if you want to get out in the Great North Woods!</span><br />

Its is all Pittsburg from here on out! The local areas did not fizzle out on us though, in fact it was some of the best action I have seen in a long time! I had a great day with Carl who hooked into double digit numbers of fish that were just large and feisty! I have not seen vicious strikes on nymphs the way we did in a long time! One minute the line was dead drifting and the next it was 20 feet across the river! Either that, or it was flying through the air attached to a big fish! We hit many different areas and spots that are usually good in early April, but have continued to hang on into early May due to the cooler temps we have been seeing lately. If I had to guess it will not last very much longer though as water flows have been dropping quickly and when the flow goes, so do the fish! <br />

I spent the second half of my April vacation scouting how things were going in Pittsburg. Lets just say that it was a blast! I caught my first salmon from the 1st Lake Inlet on April 26th and it was a nice big fat 18 incher. The air temp was 38 degrees and it had been snowing in the morning. Water temps were hovering right around the 40 degree mark on the first day. I spent most of my time each day hitting the inlets of the lakes including the Lake Francis Inlet, but also hit below Murphy as well. I would have to say that the fishing each day was different. There was no real steady stream of salmon coming in, but I was picking up 3-4 per day along with a hand full of rainbows as well. The great news is that every fish I hooked and landed was as healthy as can be! They were fat, shiny, crisp and fighting hard! I hit a nice BWO hatch at the Francis Inlet and landed 14 fish in a few hours on one occasion as well. That is about as good as it gets with water temps in the low 40's. <br />
The lake flows are all super low, but with rain in the forecast we should be seeing an increase soon. This should only increase the amount of salmon and lake run fish for us over the next couple of weeks. I kept taking water temps and it topped out at 46 degrees in the 1st Lake Inlet on a sunny warm afternoon. My largest salmon of the trip was caught on my last morning and was 20", leapt 3 times and capped off my trip perfectly! <br />
I am extremely excited to get back up and start taking clients out as we move into late spring and early summer. I am booking faster than I ever have at this point in a season, but still have dates open for Pittsburg in June, July and August if you get ahold of me soon! <br />

Over the last couple of weeks we have been fishing everywhere! Just about every area that I guide during the early season has been explored and some areas fished better than others. I can say that the Three Rivers area has been hit or miss. We did fairly well on two out of the three and the one that produced the best was still tricky to dial in on. Their were rising fish, most certainly coming to the top to take midges, and we were still getting the cold shoulder. We did manage a few strikes on the smallest emergers that I had in my box, but I actually dialed in on them with completely outlandish flies. SO another lesson learned. Even when you know what the hatch is and what they are supposed to be eating, try other patterns that are completely the opposite and you may get some nice fish! Got to love trout fishing! <br />
I was able to get back out with John and his two sons for the first time in a couple of years and the boys are now at a great age to soak in the lessons learned on a river. It was a slower day fish wise, but we were able to land a few and learn a lot about reading the water and nymphing techniques. I always enjoy watching father/son bonding time and it was another memory I know this family will look back on over the years.<br />
Next, I was able to get out with a great guy named Carl. We had been trying to fish together for a while and finally the schedules fit. He was brand new to fly fishing and wanted to test it out before investing in his own gear. Needless to say I was hoping that his first experience was going to be a great one and the fish helped us to make it just that. I look forward to getting back out on the water with him in the future and continue to build on his newly learned skills. <br />
Lastly, I guided a wonderful gentleman named Bill. He has been fly fishing for years and was hoping to explore some new water and hook some fish along the way. We were able to do both and eventually wound up dialing in on one stretch of river that produced multiple fish. It was a pleasure spending a day on the water with him.<br />
The flows in our local areas have been dropping dramatically over the past week and unless we have some big rains, we could be getting into some tough fishing in the southern part of the state soon. That being said, I am gearing up for Pittsburg! I will be doing a lot of scouting over the next couple of weeks and hope to start the season off right with some salmon in the very near future! <br />
I just looked in my schedule book and was amazed at how the summer booking is filling so fast this year. I have been in talks with many folks about getting in the books and I hope to be able to accommodate all that have been interested. If you know of a date that you would like to get up to Pittsburg for the summer please let me know soon! If you would like to know my availability, shoot me an email and I will send you all of my open spaces! This is shaping up to be an epic summer in Pittsburg and I want to share it with as many great people as I can!<br />
<br />
Thank you again!<br />

<br />
We have been all over the place lately and the fishing is as good as I have seen for this early in the season! I have been to most of my early season areas and have caught fish at each one. That is not the norm for this time of year. I would expect to hook a half dozen fish per day when the fishing is just starting to come around, but 20+ hookup days are what we have been doing lately. Spring fishing on warm days are some of the most fulfilling outings regardless of the amount of fish hooked and with the success lately I pretty much feel spoiled. As I am writing this I am looking out the window at 50 mph, snow blown, wind gusts, but I know it will not last and we will be back on the water soon. I am very excited for the next couple of weeks of fishing! <br />
I do have a couple of open slots if you are thinking about getting on the water before the spring action is over. If you would like to know what I have open for the Lakes Region area, let me know soon! Once May rolls around it will be Pittsburg time!<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by and as always feel free to shoot me an email with any questions!<br />
