Fishing the Upper Connecticut




Ethan caught this nice brookie in the trophy section of the Upper Connecticut in the late summer of 2007. We camped at the Lake Francis camp site and bushwhacked our way to this spot. The key was talking with the people at the Lopstick Lodge. They helped us to figure out how to fish this fabulous river. Ethan caught this fish on a double nymph rig with weight. The river is tough to wade but you have to do it to get to the prime spots. We fished all day every day and slept like babies all night. We caught brookies, landlocked salmon and rainbows. What a great trip.

I promise to post photos of the next slurry (aka chile) that I cook up.
