Three Rivers Stocking Association is a private organization that has recently completed their first successful annual fundraiser to stock fall trout in the Lamprey, Cocheco, and Isinglass; three rivers which offer acceptional year-round C & R trout fishing in Southeastern NH. I had the pleasure of stocking these trout on Saturday with President, Jonathon Chorlian, a renouned fly fishing fanatic.
Many of the association members and other local fly-fisherman volunteered in the stocking of ~300 rainbows into the Cocheco, and 500 browns and rainbows (20 18"+ browns) in the Lamprey!!! Waste Managment (WM) has also donated 500 trout to the Isinglass, which will be stocked in the near future.
Fishing these rivers over the past two days has boosted (I would think), everyone's attitude on fall trout fishing this year. The Lamprey was hit hard Saturday evening through tonight, with reports of anglers catching upwards of 30 trout. Rainbows were hitting nymphs and egg patterns, but consistenly favored retrieving wooly buggers and big stoneflies. Trout have not moved far from their initial introduction to the water, but are quickly learning the locals' favorite patterns. The popular pools have seen a consistent 3-5 anglers, but everyone has willingly shared the water as there are plenty of fish still to be caught, and even caught again!
C & R is a wonderful concept!
