Anglers are strong on tradition. Fishing the same water on opening day. Or the same water on the last day of the season. The alder fly hatch. The hex hatch. The red quill hatch. Anglers will travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles to fish waters that have a history. Theodore Gordan and the Catskills. George Harvey and Pennsylvania limestone streams. Lee Wulff and Labrador. All waters that are steeped in fishing tradition.
In New Hampshire, the fishing tradition runs deep. Trolling for salmon. Remote trout ponds. Vibrant rivers like the Saco, the Androscoggin, the Connecticut. Another strong tradition is fly tying. Ellis Hatch. Ora Smith. Nick Lambrou. Ken Grimes. Barbara Cotton. Alice Converse. The list of New Hampshire fly tiers who kept fly tying alive is endless.
