FAQ
Fly fishing in New Hampshire
What is landlocked salmon fishing in New Hampshire like?
Landlocked Atlantic salmon are one of New Hampshire's premier fly-rod targets, found in the Upper Connecticut River system and connected lakes like Lake Francis and the Connecticut Lakes. They are prized for blistering runs and acrobatic fights. The cold tailwater stretches between the lakes hold salmon alongside brook, brown, and rainbow trout, making for varied and exciting fishing.
Where can I find wild brook trout in New Hampshire?
Brook trout are New Hampshire's official state fish and thrive in cold streams throughout the White Mountains and the Great North Woods. Many of the best wild brookie streams are small, remote tributaries that flow through private timber and ranch land. Private access through AnglerPass reaches headwater fish that rarely see a fly.
When does the Androscoggin alder fly hatch happen?
The Androscoggin River's renowned alder fly hatch peaks in mid-June, when caddis emerge by the thousands for miles of river and bring trout and salmon up for dry fly action. The Androscoggin's recovery from a polluted mill river into one of New England's finest trout streams is a celebrated conservation success, and the fly-fishing-only stretch below Errol Dam fishes especially well during the hatch.
