Still early in NH part 2

Still early here in NH

A few years ago, I was wading on the West Branch of the Penobscot River in Maine in the canyon above the Little Eddy Pool. It is a very serene spot where you can "Zen" out. From the far bank, some knucklehead "bro" came out of the woods and was yelling (not speaking) into a sat phone so he...

I am unsure if that is a late winter Mayfly, or an early spring Mayfly. That being said, if I saw that fly where I live in NH at this time of year, I would guess it is the Eastern March Brown (Maccaffertium vicarium) . The speckled wings are indicative of the March Brown and it is too early...

That is a good setup for seed starting, but put your light on a pulley so that you can lower it much further down. The amount of light (lumens/foot candles) coming from that lamp is greatly reduced with distance (I believe it is the inverse square of distance). Ideally, at first, you should be...

There are a number of motel/guided trip deals in Dutch John for a Green River float. Do a google search and you will find choices. That being said, expect food cost unusually expensive as DJ is remote and has limited options for food

I( have not been to Jackson Hole in about 10 years. Even back then, the change from "sleepy" town near YNP to A list destination was startling. Even crazier and more expensive now...

I don't think this is what the OP had in mind when talking about vintage wall clocks, but it surely is "vintage" Fifty years ago, in March of 1976, I started my career with the Federal Government. The clock was on the office wall. Shortly after that the office moved and the supervisor said I...

Some classic hot sauce from "back in the day"

As I live in NH, I have both books on New England fishing. If any of you PNW guys (gals?) come East, they are both worth a good look before you get your waders wet.

The problem for me is that I don't hang my cane on the wall and instead, actually USE my bamboo rods. At the price of the Oyster rods, they are absolutely a work of art and like the Picasso hanging on the wall, not something I would take on a stream.

I have to admit that I never heard of Oyster Rods. They are beautiful, but I'm just glad that I wasn't in the river when I looked up the prices. I would have fallen in!

I am reading the Dave Gurney series of murder mysteries by John Verdon. A total of 9 books in the collection. Worth the read in my opinion. In my library system they are available for free on Kindle using the Libby app

At an early age I was a spin fisher, but I started spending my summers with my Granduncle in Vermont. He was a cane fly fisher and taught me the fly fishing starting when I was about 11, or 12 (that would have been the summer of 1962, or so). He tied his own flies and taught me that art too...

The only thing green around here is the color of the bird feeder

The easiest way to eliminate the issue of invasive species transfer is to put your boots in the freezer for 48 hours.
