North Country Angling - Silver Lake map

Silver Lake is a great home town venue for opening day of salmon season. (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

After listening to the Red Sox’s Opening Day win on the radio, old-school style, the adrenaline was pumping. It was a great start to what baseball experts project to be a World Series year for the Beantown Boys. Opening Day signals a new year and new hope.

April 1 is another opening day that brings hope. In New Hampshire, the day signals the start of another year in which anglers can pursue landlock salmon and lake trout. In Maine, the season opens for all freshwater salmonids. After a long winter of tying flies and pouring over Google Maps, it is time for anglers to put that preparation to the test.
