Smallies week

This week I had a few quick fishing sessions, after work, one and a half hour each, and I focused on smallmouth bass. I had fun with them on dries, they will take violently a sedge that's making a lot of noise on the surface, but the most prolific way was fishing with streamers. I got some angel hair streamers that smallmouth bass cannot resist (thanks Jed and WS HUNTER for showing me this amaizing material). And if there is trout around they may find it tasty too.
I mainly fished Winnipesaukee and Merrimack rivers in Franklin area, with Winni having more fish, but the ones the ones I've caught in the Merrimack were bigger. A pleasant surprise was the chance to watch a snapping turtle hunting. It floates on her belly, like a log in shallow water next to the shore and with a quick move grabs little fish that get too close.

Lilly

Avem un nou membru al familiei, o cheama Lilly si e o femela de arici african. Maine implineste 10 saptamani si e o nazdravana deja. Am pus cateva poze aici pentru cei carora le-ar face placere sa le vada.

Hopkinton Lake

I came back with some more picture from the 2 hrs I've spent on Hopkinton Lake this Sunday. I caught the biggest bass of this season and Diana got some really inspired shots of wildlife or just nature. Enjoy!

Still here

I haven't done too much fishing lately. Water levels were impossible lately and lack of time finished the job of keeping me away from the river. However, in one trip to Franklin at Eastman Falls I was able to land a few fish, including this skinny salmon. Good news is that fish are still there, the high water kept the temperatures lower in the river and trapped more O2, keeping the fishermen away, too.
