How To Be A Trout Bum Days 4 to 6

Sorry about the delay, been under the weather since returning from the trip, plus the one fly competition.

So here goes....

Left Indian Hollow, had tick removed, stopped for replacement vent regulator arm and gearbox at Diamond RV, stopped for gas, resupplied the fridge, and made it to the Mohawk State Forest.


Had the best campsite, paved right to the edge of the site, and minimal levelling required.


Also had the Cold River behind the site, some really nice boulder strewn pools of gin clear water.


Not far from the Deerfield River, and the Cold Meets the Deerfield about 1 mile from the campground entrance.

Unfortunately no pics of fish, broke off 3 leaders fishing the turbulence of the Deerfield and Cold River flows meeting. Did raise one fish near the surface, but broke him off. I was bummed. But I did get my Tenkara Rod out for a nice 10" rainbow in the pool behind my camp site on the Cold River. Unfortunately he spit the fly just as I was getting the net out. But the people in the neighboring campsite saw the whole thing, and were surprised there were any trout in the pool.

Two nights in the campground were it for me, I had to preside over the Millers River TU meeting that Wednesday night, then drove home, clean up, resupply, and get some rest.
Next stop Pittsburg NH, home of large Brook Trout, Salmon, and beautiful wilderness.
