Spent the weekend getting back to basics. Happy to Spent the weekend getting back to basics. Happy to recertify my Wilderness First Aid training with SOLO Wilderness Medicine this weekend as a WMNF Outfitter & Guide. Because fish pics are great, and fly tying is fun, but safety will always be #1 ⛑. Feel confident booking your backcountry fly fishing trip knowing you are in safe hands!

A quick announcement from Saco Valley TU that dese A quick announcement from Saco Valley TU that deserves our attention...
Most will recognize the location of this photo. It is the junction of the Swift and Saco Rivers in Conway Village. On the left is the Swift River during today’s high water event 12.26.20. 

The Swift River drainage is almost wholly protected by land either owned or managed by the WMNF and The Town of Albany. The river is allowed to flow naturally for virtually its entire course. There is good natural structure (woody debris) throughout the system that mitigates high water events such as the one we experienced today .The Swift River has no dams, extensive man made rip rap installations, or dredged areas to speak of until its confluence with the Saco River. The Swift River is fed by numerous high mountain streams where we enjoy wild self reproducing brook trout populations. The water remains clear even during high water events. The system is naturally self correcting and generally balanced until it meets the Saco.

On the right hand side of the photo is the Saco River.  The Saco River has been continually rip rapped and dredged for the better part of the past 50 years. There is even a town sanctioned snow dump (salt dump) on its banks in North Conway at 1st bridge park. We simply can not continue down this path of apathy and ignorance. In order to bring this river back to its status as a top tier northern New England fishery these issues must be addressed. 
Today Saco Valley Trout Unlimited is actively speaking out against several new proposals to further alter the Saco River watershed . These projects include new rip rap installations and dredging projects in Bartlett amongst several others.
Please join us 1.5.21 @ 6:30 pm for our next virtual meeting with Bill Thomas NHDES River Restoration Coordinator to discuss long term science based practices that will help bring the Saco back to where she deserves to be, a natural self sustaining fishery . Email SVATroutUnlimited@gmail.com for meeting log in information.  PLEASE LIKE & SHARE! Thanks

Never a bad day float tubing for wild brook trout. Never a bad day float tubing for wild brook trout...If you find cold water you will more than likely find the fish. As many of our rivers and streams are at their seasonal low, our high elevation spring fed brook trout ponds continue to provide angling opportunities that are safe for the angler and fish alike. Check your water temps often, and keep your hands wet.  #theswiftriverghillie #keepthemwet #nhflyfishing #orvisflyfishing #orvisadventures #whitemountainsnationalforest #whitemountainsnh #guideswhoknow #caddissports #therugisthedrug #anglernorthcountry #floattrip #nativebrooktrout #wildbrooktrout #catchandrelease #bookatrip

“Randy provided an excellent experience! My husb “Randy provided an excellent experience! My husband and I are at very different levels of fly fishing; me a beginner and him an experienced angler. Randy provided me with great knowledge, technique advice, tips, and gave me some much needed confidence on the water. All while also providing my husband with more advance technique notes and fishing spots. Both of us caught plenty of fish and we really had a great time! We will be booking a trip with Randy again the next time we're in the Whites!” #orvisadventures #thetugisthedrug #nhflyfishing #theswiftriverghillie #guideswhoknow #mountwashingtonvalley #fishpondusa #anglernorthcountry #lovewhereyoulive #easternslopeinn #wadefishing #5050onthewater @evski_and_the_outdoors @duhitsalexus #brooktrout
