Anglers are dreamers. We dream about wild places and the fish they hold. We dream about serenity and the comfort it brings. We dream of catching a fish that will stay in the mind’s eye forever.
Snow worshipers celebrate this winter. That includes hikers. Packed down trails are in great shape. Using foot traction on them is certainly easier than negotiating rocks and roots in the warm season.
I searched through my picture files, but didn’t find a single picture of my Mount Washington Nordic Club experiences. I’m grateful others saved their pictures and newsletters, documenting their existence before the internet took over our recollections.
4052-foot Mount Jackson in the southern Presidential Range is a popular peak any time of year. But in the winter, its special qualities seem to shine more. Because of its popularity, the 2.6-mile trail is soon packed down after a snowstorm. From its trailhead on the east side of Route 302, j…
Behind the counter at the shop is where this angler keeps his collection of resource books. This includes fly-tying books, where-to-fish books and gazetteers. The idea is to have at hand the resources necessary to answer fellow anglers’ questions and questions that pop into the mind of this angler.

When one is a beginner fly angler, the choice of a fly to place on the end of the line is a constant challenge. For those experienced in the art form, the choice of fly can be broken down into two steps: match the size of the bug and then match the color of the bug. In fly fishing, size does…
Last Tuesday, I hiked 1.7 miles up the Tuckerman Ravine Trail from the Pinkham Notch Camp to the Huntington Ravine Fire Road and walked another 0.3 miles along that to the Harvard Cabin.

Today, Jan. 17, is one of the two free fishing days in New Hampshire. It is an opportunity for those who wonder what angling is all about to try the sport without having to purchase a fishing license. This is available to all anglers, including both residents and non-residents, and the free …
