Contoocook River

Back to the river again tonight. The "fly fishing only" section was stacked nuts to butts. Two -four trucks at each turn off. One section had 6 fisherman standing 25' apart from each other in the Tookie ...what fun is that! There are plenty of fish in that river...lucky for me all the good fish dont know where the fly fishing section is. Did well tonight with three nice rainbow. One on a muddler minnow and a pair on a bead head hare's ear. Still fishing with a sinking tip. Again trying to get good pictures one handed is somewhat difficult. I tried the video and still had trouble, the fish did finally swim away from the rock and disappeared into the river. The other two were carbon copies of the video star.

Contoocook River


Fished the Tooky river today, with Tim and Dan. Tough day, windy and blue sky. Nothing at the pools in Henniker. so we moved up to the twin bridges. Fished hard, water is really low for this time of year. Picked up one real nice rainbow and lost another brown. Fishing streamers and small muddlers on a sinking tip 6wt.
