North Country Angling: Last chance for landlock salmon

When the glaciers receded thousand of years ago, some Atlantic salmon got trapped in the new inland lakes that were formed. Atlantic salmon are known for their strength, their weight and their challenge as a game fish. The fish that remained trapped retained some of these characteristics. Landlock salmon are known for their size, their acrobatics and their difficulty in bringing the fish to hand.

New Hampshire has several lakes, and the lakes tributary rivers with nice fall runs of landlock salmon. For the landlock salmon angler, this is the primetime to pursue this fish.
