I finally got to go fishing on Thursday afternoon after a long week of homework, class and studying for a chemistry exam. Although I didn't catch anything it felt so rewarding just to get off campus and enjoy a beautiful fall day. On Thursday I went to the Beebe River looking for some brookies. There's a nice pool just downstream of the Route 175 bridge in Campton. I didn't see any brookies but I'm sure there are probably some there. I had tons of little Atlantic salmon parr hit small dry flies but didn't hook any. Hopefully they will find their way to the ocean and return as adults to spawn!
After class yesterday I tried Perch Pond in Campton. There didn't seem to be much trout activity going on within wading distance. After no success there, I tried the Pemi by the Blair covered bridge in Campton. Wasn't much surface activity and the water levels are still extremely low. I did manage one fall fish on a stimulator. It wasn't what I was looking for but at least I didn't get skunked! I think I'm going to try the upper Mad River today for some brookies. I'll definitely post some pictures if I am successful.
Here's some pictures of the Beebe from Thursday.
