Pemigewasset River, New Hampshire Fishing Report
First Brookies On The Pemigewasset River
Although I caught a lot of rainbows during my trip to Lincoln, my main focus had been on brookies, a trout I had never caught before. The river ran directly behind where we were staying, and we were fishing the cold, rocky waters within minutes of arriving. I started out with a Phoebe spoon while my brother used a panther martin. He caught his first before I caught mine, and I followed with my first minutes later. I instantly loved the fish as soon as I caught my first one. I caught the rest of my brookies, however, on trout magnet jigs, recommended to me by a lot of MAFF members (thanks to those guys). I got lots of them dragging the jig in the current using a float in pools. The amount of fish I caught increased exponentially; I caught more and more fish as I learned where to look for them and how to better recognize where the fish were. With every one my newfound love for the species had grown. I ended up catching more brookies than rainbows through the whole trip. I captured it all on my gopro, and would appreciate if you guys checked out the edited video that I attached. Through my trip, I learned just how well Trout Magnets work, and brook trout are now one of my favorite species to catch.
