SOTF: Saco River rainbows

Fly fishing for rainbow trout on the Saco River in North Conway, NH - June 2020.

The Saco is heavily stocked and it is pretty much a put-and-take fishery now. There are still big fish and holdovers to be had in the fly-fishing-only section, but floods in recent years have changed the structure and it is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

Looks like a great day of fishing! If I may ask, what covered bridge is that and do you know of any other great spots on the Saco in North Conway?

[@scottlarochelle4601]

The bridge at the end of the fly fishing only section.

Is that a Winston rod? A TMF maybe?

[@scottlarochelle4601]

Actually it's an old (2006) Orivs TLS - their mid-grade rod replaced by the Access and then the Recon. Still a trusty stick!
