Wicked good north country
Fish the trophy stretch
As described by Tall Timber Lodge in Pittsburg , NH
The “ Trophy Stretch ” of the Upper Connecticut River in Pittsburg , NH is two and one half miles of pocket water , riffles and pools , providing some of northern New England ’ s best trout and salmon fishing . Throughout the season and even in the heat of summer , you ’ ll find phenomenal fly fishing due to a bottom release dam that provides clear , cold water all season long . The Trophy Stretch has primarily a rocky bottom with boulders and some gravel . Depending on your wading skills and the water flow , a wading staff can be a great asset . An 8 1 / 2 to 9 foot , 4 to 6 weight rod is ideal for fly fishing in Pittsburg . Access the Trophy Stretch below First Connecticut Lake Dam or go down River Road for multiple access points .
