Current Report
Just because it's been a hot
summer and the local hog
holes have all but shut
down, don't give up on
trout. Many high-country
streams in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire
run cold in July and August
and are often full of
natives. The fish aren't
big, an 8-inch brook trout
is a monster, but they are
extraordinarily beautiful
and they were born in the
stream, not put in the
stream. Aggressive and
almost painfully naive, the
fly pattern doesn't matter
as much as a quiet, stealthy
approach. Boulder-hopping up
a tumbling stream and
meeting trout that can trace
their lineage back to the
last ice age is about as
pleasant a way to spend an
afternoon as I can imagine.
