July 2024 Update

To my loyal & valued customers,

Happy Fourth of July to all and your families as well. Cook up something special on the grill and accompany it with your favorite beverage. I do accept donations!!

I recently went down to the Farmington River and experienced the finest day(s) of dry fly fishing that I have ever had. I hooked and landed over 20 fish on a Sulphur dry as well as a mole fly. It was an epic day, not soon to be forgotten. I never used a sub-surface fly in 1 1/2 days of fishing. The river is “on fire” and has been fishing that way for weeks. Get on down soon!

The Connecticut River in Pittsburgh has also been electric as well. The river has been fully stocked with rainbows, brookies and browns. Many large salmon have also been caught. Call the shop for details about where to fish, flies and places to stay. Get on up there soon as you can. The local rivers are low and starting to really warm up. – Please start your prayer engines!!

The Androscoggin River from Errol to Pontook is also on fire. Many rainbows and brookies with a sprinkling of salmon have been brought to net.

Stop by North Country Anglers and see Steve Angers for some special intel on flies and where to fish in his area. Steve is located in North Conway, NH.

Plenty of places to fish – find a time – pack a lunch and go get ’em.

Need a new pair of Korkers, a new fly line or a new Lamson reel – the shop has plenty to offer you.

Pat Perkins — In addition to building a superb bamboo rod is now doing restorations on all types of bamboo rods. If you have a bamboo road and it is in need of repair, please contact the shop for details.
