The start of the season in New Hampshire was rough. High, cold water, ice lingering for too long, not even one strike in places where previous springs were very productive. It forced me to search for new water, and after multiple trials and a few missed fish, this guy showed up in a non-stocking location.
Strong, angry and in excellent shape. After 2 leaps and a lot of work from my 4 weight, I was able to land it, take a few pictures and return it to the wild, where beauties like this belong. It measured roughly 56-58 cm (22-22.5 inches). The 4th silver mark on my rod is at 60 cm. On the negative side, nobody was with me to take a picture of my big grin while holding this fish.
