Well, the trucks are really starting to roll in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Vermont and NH get going a bit later.
Trout stocking is now underway! Stocking trucks are on the move! Half a million trout will be stocked across Massachusetts this spring. https://t.co/ingwsCI5ti You can get daily stocking updates at https://t.co/6xBllrvzev! #MassFishHunt #MassWildlife #DFG #Trout pic.twitter.com/F216ihnVd3

With a window of time to fish and temps a nice 45 degrees, I decided to try a new small strike indicator tonight after work. Mainly aiming to just practice a bit with it being I don’t generally use an indicator, and have not had a hit in this particular stretch of the river since December. I’ll be darned, action was pretty much non-stop on a bead hare’s ear nymph #14 hung a couple feet below the little cork indicator. I didn’t become a great fisherman over night, so I have to believe the area I fished had been stocked. Regardless, stockies or otherwise, great fun was had with all fish gently released during the hour and a half I was out. Dang, that water is still cold though. My feet were very numb walking back to the truck.
Sam, that is awesome! Congratulations!
Great job Sam!
Thanks, Jo. I educated quite a few as to the sting of the hook. Hopefully it will do them good in avoiding the catch and keep fellows. O for 2018, this fishing was quite welcome.
Thank you so much for all the information ?????
Have fun on the water!
Haven’t made it to the Exeter River yet.. Fished yesterday from Pickpocket down stream.. Sad.
