January 2011 Fishing series at the Nashua Public Library

Yes, they started up again. I had to walk in late the first week due to another commitment.

Great information! If you cannot get outside fishing, this may be the next best thing. You can meet some folks with a wealth of knowledge behind them as well as the presenters.

There are up-coming fly fishing series that you must register for that take place in March.If you are interested, you better sign up FAST! This course fills up quickly. There are also some fly tying classes as well. They fill up fast too.

There was just the Marlboro MA fly fishing show this past weekend. In March there will be a fishing show at the Pelham Sportsmans Club. I will give you more info on that soon.

Learning About Bass and Salmon Fly Fishing in Maine, NH, MA and Québec

This past Thursday, Jan. 28^th, wound up the last of the January fishing series at the Nashua Public Library. This is the 19^th year they have had this series.

The evening began with a fantastic refresher on boat safety via a video.

A member of the New England Fly casters, Seth Harris, shared his favorite salmon rivers in Québec. I found him to be most informative when he explained how Québec goes about distributing their licenses – very complicated. He was very helpful by passing out literature from Québec of maps and brochures.

Another couple members of the NE fly casters, Brenda and Ray Phillipon, double teamed their presentation on fly fishing for bass. They discussed their time spent up in Maine at the South Branch Lake Camps and how they proceeded to convert many of the fishermen up there into future fly fishing just by letting them see the pictures of their daily ‘creel’ since it was all catch and release. Brenda and Ray filled everyone in on some of the local ponds and rivers where they find fishing to be good.

Every Thursday different folks or organizations had information at tables on the way into the theatre. The last couple of nights I chatted with the guys from New Hampshire Bass Busters, Inc.

Upon entry each of the 4 nights you received a raffle ticket for the last night when they drew 8 numbers for 8 give-a-ways.

On each Thursday night of this fishing series, you received a ticket for a raffle that was held on the last night. There were eight raffle prizes; I wish I knew who to give credit for these prizes, but right now I don’t know. If I find out I will give them credit.
