White Mountains Fishing

 

With plenty of rivers and streams, the White Mountains offer excellent fishing opportunities for anglers of all levels, especially fly fishing. In fact, the Ammonoosuc River derives its name from an Abenaki Native American word that translates roughly into “small, winding fishing place.” It is home to a sustaining population of native Brook Trout, but also stocked with other species such as salmon, rainbow trout and brown trout.

Fly fishing is more than your everyday sport. It is an enthralling experience that allows you to relax, be one with nature, and escape from your daily life. And unlike spin fishing, it offers an all-around lightweight experience, with a light rod and flies designed to imitate the fish’s food. Not only is fly fishing a more refined and artistic form of angling, but it can also be very exhilarating. 

Fishing provides the ultimate peace and tranquility!

When it comes to fishing, it’s important to have the proper equipment and technique. Hiring a guide or taking a class can help you learn the necessary skills and improve your chances of success. It’s also important to follow local fishing regulations and practice catch-and-release to help protect the fish population.
