Musings and observations while wondering why New Hampshire is the only New England state that has a closed trout season.

There was a time in New Hampshire when general law trout fishing ended on Labor Day. From the day after Labor Day to Oct. 15 trout fishing was by fly fishing only. Fly fishing is recognized as a conservation method for protecting fish while extending the angling season.
