Our Seashore Fishing Guide shows you where to go. Visit www.fishnh.com. Catch-and-Release Fishing for fun, not food? Make sure you practice “catch-and-release.” A fish that is properly handled will have the best chance for survival. Here’s how: Never remove a deeply swallowed hook from the fish’s throat or stomach — instead, cut the leader and leave the hook in the fish. It will eventually work free or rust away. l Use barbless hooks or hooks with pinched barbs. l Land the fish quickly, so it does not become exhausted or stressed. l Release the fish while it’s still in the water. l To remove the hook, gently back it out of the fish’s © STEVE BRIGMAN / DREAMSTIME.COM mouth.

Trout Ponds Designated trout ponds offer anglers the unique opportunity to enjoy small bodies of water primarily managed for brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. These ponds have shorter fishing seasons to allow for greater trout growth and survival. They are stocked multiple times throughout the spring and early summer to enhance shoreline fishing success. Generally, these ponds have a five-fish or five-pound daily limit, and any legal fishing method/gear can be used. Be sure to check the pond’s specific regulations in the N.H. Freshwater Fishing Digest. 1. Lucas Pond, Northwood Access to Lucas Pond is granted to anglers by the town of Northwood. The access area includes a car top launch facility and enough room for several anglers to fish from shore. Motors are prohibited. At times, Lucas Pond can receive heavy fishing pressure, so the waterbody receives large numbers of brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. Older age classes of trout are also stocked in the pond. Take Lucas Pond Road off of Rt. 43 or Rt. 152.

In absence of the information about those tyers I decided to proceed with what I had and over the next few years, if I could get the information on the others, I would consider releasing a second book. Never did I realize that it would take me six years to gather that information. During the six years I had the pleasure of personally meeting a number of the tyers. Sadly some of them are no longer with us. During the many meetings I had with the fly tyers, their families and friends I will never forget their kindness and generosity.

  • IGFA International Flyfishing Rules
    IGFA International Flyfishing Rules Equipment Regulations A. Line Any type of fly line and backing may be used. The breaking strength of the fly line and backing are not restricted. B. Leader Leaders must conform to generally accepted fly fishing customs. A leader includes a class tippet and, optionally, a shock tippet. A butt or taper section between the fly line and the class tippet shall also be considered part of the leader and there are no limits on its length, material, or strength. A class tippet must be made of nonmetallic material and either attached directly to the fly or to the shock tippet if one is used. The class tippet must be at least 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) long (measured inside connecting knots). With respect to knotless, tapered leaders, the terminal 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) will also determine tippet class. There is no maximum length limitation. A shock tippet, not to exceed 30.48 centimeters (12 inches) in length, may be added to the class tippet and tied to the fly. It can be made of any type of material, and there is no limit on its breaking strength. The shock tippet is measured from the eye of the hook to the single strand of class tippet and includes any knots used to connect the shock tippet to the class tippet. In the case of a tandem hook fly, the shock tippet shall be measured from the eye of the leading hook. C. Rod Regardless of material used or number of sections, rods must conform and cast according to generally accepted fly fishing customs and practices.

  • Why Clean Water Matters
    TUCKASEIGEE CHAPTER # 373 OF TROUT UNLIMITED Tuck Tales Why Clean Water Matters Being part of the seventh generation in my family to call Colorado home, I sometimes take the outdoor playground that this great state provides for granted. People move here to take part in all that our state has to offer, a huge draw being the outdoor experiences and amazing craft beer and other delicacies that require clean, non-polluted water to thrive. The Clean Water Rule is essential to protecting our home waters, here in Colorado and across the nation. We cannot risk having the EPA roll it back. That action would result in leaving the majority of the streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands in the lower 48 without protection. We in the outdoor and fishing industry know that without clean water, we have no business. Fishing makes up a huge part of my life. I want to ensure that our fisheries here in Colorado and across the country maintain their health and vibrancy. Be sure to have your voice heard, for today and future generations—please go to TU’s Action Center and let our leaders know you care about clean water! Corinne Doctor is co-founder of the fishing apparel company RepYourWater. New Life Membership Join today as a Trout Unlimited Life Member and we'll send you your choice of two special-edition Orvis rods and reels.

  • IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program
    FLY TYI NG GROUP IFFF FLY TYING GROUP Fly Tying Skills Awards Program Produced by the International Fereration of Fly Fishers, Fly Tying Group as an adaptation of the Guild Awards Scheme of the UK Fly Dresser’s Guild. Why an IFFF Fly Tying Skills Award Program? The IFFF Fly Ting Group exists to preserve, enhance and support the art of fly tying. Our focus generally is two- fold: sharing of information and teaching so that more people may take an interest in our craft and become more knowledgeable and accomplished tiers. The purpose of the IFFF Fly Tying Group is as follows: “The FTG is dedicated to the preservation, enhancement and support of the art of fly tying as a historic element of the fly-fishing experience. Archiving of historic documents, development of educational and instructional materials, teaching and demonstration are fundamental to perpetuating the art of fly tying for anglers who fish with the artificial fly.” For individuals to improve as tiers, they need to be able to measure their progress. The IFFF Fly Tying Skills Awards Program provides IFFF members with the opportunity to develop or reinforce their fly tying skills and test their progress against a consistent, standard at three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Program Overview and Goals This International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF) Fly Tying Skills Awards Program is an educational program for all IFFF members who care to take part. The Awards Program is managed for and on behalf of the IFFF by Fly Tying Group. The goal of the Awards Program is to encourage IFFF members to develop and improve their fly tying skills at their own pace through a structured learning plan with progressive goals and in so doing contribute to the purpose of the FTG.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. IT occurred to me, some three or four years ago, that there was again room in this great angling county for a book which should not only give the dressings and seasons of trout flies, but also add the best pos- sible aid in the form of illustrations carefully and accurately coloured, in order to convey to the eye of the beholder correct impressions of the size, shape, and colours of those artificial flies which experience has proved are best adapted to the Yorkshire waters. It is a long stretch from the days of Theakston and Jackson to this present time, and in the interval there has grown up amongst observant anglers a decided preference for hackled flies, and wisely so, and this preference is by no means confined within the limits of our county.
