Re: great north woods

I don't have anything to share but do have a bit of advice. Don't take this the wrong way but don't ask for "hot spots". Most of the time you won't get any answer or you'll get negative answer. You might have to look up a NH fishin forum or something because I don't think there are too many if any member here is from NH.

Re: great north woods

How are you fishing? Boat? Shore? Canoe? Trolling salmon spoons might work OK if you are where the salmon are. If not....

I have not fished there before but I would try streamers behind a dodger.

I used to go up there a lot, live shiners are the way to go.

I spent all my time fishing the Ct river

and my favourite, the Androscoggin.
Caught landlock salmon just below the dam, nite is best at the dam, right below it. They'll hit anything that moves.

I don't know of you can get your boat in someplace to get up to upper dam pool , just over the border in maine (rangley lake). Never managed to get in there myself but always wanted to. Its the Mecca for fly fishing.

The NH dead diamonds are neat too, some wild trout but you have to know your way through the loggin roads, dixie dam is still there on the diamond river.

Get a book on the area and explore.
Spiked boots is a good read.
