When we fish

Water	Season	What to know
Salmon River	Spring, summer, fall	Spring and fall are my main trout seasons. In summer I check water temperature all day and move downstream for smallmouth when it is too warm for trout. The river can freeze over, so no winter trips.
Farmington River	Year-round	A cold tailwater that fishes in every season. Full days suit section hopping, and the campground makes a good base for longer trips.
Wild trout streams	Depends on conditions	I plan around temperature, flow and the needs of the fish. I rest these streams when they run warm or low, and I avoid spawning fish and their nests.
