We finally made it to the trophy section of the Upper Connecticut over the weekend of August 2nd. It rained most of the time and the with the river at flood stage on the Monday it was essentially unfishable. This picture shows the pool right below the Carr Ridge Road bridge. This has to be the most over fished stretch of the river. We had a great weekend and caught rainbows, brookies and some salmon. Ethan did much better than me and battled a big landlocked salmon for twenty minutes. After fighting the monster all over the river it bore down and glued itself to the bottom where it eventually worked it's way loose.
