I am an avid fisherwoman, when I'm not working and for years I've been asking all my friends, why I never see anyone fishing in the
Ammonoosuc River in downtown
Littleton NH. Our
Peabody & Smith office used to be on Main Street, and the river access wasn't as easy as our new location, here at 11 Riverglen Lane, and I thought that perhaps I would get myself into the river and give it a try, but I still wondered why I hadn't seen anyone fishing.
Finally, as I was leaving the office Friday night, my curiosity was met as I came out of our office. A young man was walking across the
Littleton Bike Shop parking lot with pole in hand headed to the river bank. Well, it didn't take any hesitation on my part to follow him (he might of thought I was stalking him for a second or two).
"Do you fish here often?" was my first question.
"Yes, fishing the Ammonoosuc River is good fishing, I catch Rainbow here and good sized."
I stood watching, yes within a short few minutes he had his first fish, a rainbow trout. He pointed out several good points of entry, quick to say some of the rocks are slippery. Which is good to know because I have been known to land in the water a few times on slippery rocks. Me thinks, I will shortly try my luck between the bridges over the
Ammonoosuc River, with a fly rod. With my curiosity quelled, while walking my dog Toby this week, we spent our time checking out a good point of entry to the river. Stay tuned for my personal fishing report!
