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.
