Baker River NH


I fished the Baker River just off the Mt Moosilauke Highway in Wentworth NH on June 23 2009 with my brother, Dan. The day was overcast, being on the tail end of seven+ days of rain and somewhat breezy. Little to no trout, although it was pretty close to noon before we waded into the river. The flow was pretty slow with the majority of the water cutting along one side of the river. Dan picked up a nice rainbow by repeatedly enticing it with a Royal Coachman. The trout was tucked under a huge undercut log jam. Dan just kept at it, knowing that if there were any trout in this river, one was in here. It finally took the fly! No pictures... what was Dan thinking! I was using a hares ear nymph and a elk hair caddis, with no luck. There was no hatch underway and little sign of any insect activity.
