Not much new to report here. The fishing has been great on the NH all summer. The higher up the better. Bristol has been suburb. Water is very low, so I suggest light tippets, and fluoro. Dog team will be good, as fish move from the Creek in. Enjoy some of the dry fly,(lots of baetis) opportunities. Downsizing is the key here. Small flies, light tippets, even light rods. We personally, have had some great guided trips on the New Haven recently, and we would really like to show you some great, low pressure fishing.
