From the mighty Androscoggin to pristine mountain brooks, we'll match you with the perfect water for your skill level and goals.
Errol, Milan, Berlin, Gorham and Shelburne, NH
The Androscoggin River offers a unique opportunity to achieve the coveted "Andro grand slam" - catching brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass, and fall fish all in one day. We fish the Andro with a variety of flies and techniques: fishing small caddis, casting large streamers, dead drifting nymphs and fishing an evening spinner fall can all be done in one day.
White Mountains, NH
Over the past eighteen years, I've been hiking and fishing a multitude of mountain streams in and around the White Mountains. These streams provide exceptional dry fly fishing for both wild and stocked brook, brown and rainbow trout. Fishing these streams does require some hiking that can range from a tenth of a mile to three miles, depending on your ability and preference. Trout from ten to over twelve inches are not uncommon on these trips. Mountain streams can be effectively fished with dry flies, but I'll show you a few seldom used techniques that catch the biggest fish in the river.
Bartlett, North Conway, Conway, NH
The Saco River flows out of Crawford Notch and winds its way right through the Center of North Conway where the Fly Fishing Only stretch provides exceptional dry fly angling. Trips on the Saco are recommended for early morning or late evening when the dry fly fishing is at its finest, and the crowds are low. The Saco is the ideal setting to work on your dry fly dead drift. Sighting large brown trout sipping mayflies provides ample motivation. The Saco also provides opportunities to catch monster trout on big streamers.
Jackson, Conway, Albany, Eaton, Freedom, and Ossippee, NH
These waters are un-stocked and un-pressured. Trout can be wary of predators from above, but strike hard when a fly is well presented. Much of this water is spring fed and low gradient allowing for sight fishing and explosive surface action. Many people believe that wild NH brook trout max out at six inches. These fish average eight inches with twelve inch specimens not uncommon.
Mount Washington area, NH
Emanating from the snows of Tuckerman Ravine, the Ellis is a classic mountain stream complete with colorful wild brook trout. In its lower stretches the Ellis also contains large rainbow trout. The Ellis has a wide variety of bug life and the fish seem to shift their feeding habits regularly. Therefore it is a great river for learning a variety of fly fishing techniques. Unlike the Saco, the Ellis can fish well right through a hot summer day.

Landlocked salmon are New Hampshire's premier game fish, known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. These trips focus specifically on targeting these exciting fish using specialized techniques and flies. Best fishing is typically in spring and fall.
