White River Part 3
7.
It starts deep in the lower Peninsula of Michigan as a small, spring-fed brook trout stream.
A few browns do make their way into this section, and they can grow surprisingly large.
From the M-72 Bridge downstream to the CCC Bridge, the river is fly- fishing only.
This is famous trout water, and the hatches, as well as the fish are plentiful.
The fishing remains good for a few miles downstream from the special regulation stretch (mostly for browns), before the river forms Tippy Pond.
While smallmouth bass and pike are the main species during the summer, migratory trout, salmon, and steelhead form the cool-weather fishery.
As a matter of fact, a brown trout caught in the lower Manistee last fall is the current world record.

Coursing through the beautiful Appalachian country of Northern New England, the scenery will not be beat.
This portion of the river is full of eager brook trout, and in the spring and fall, Atlantic Salmon run upstream from all of these lakes, and provide excellent sport in the river.
Below Lake Francis, the river mostly becomes open to spin fisherman, although fly fishing is still most popular.
You can wade, fish from the bank, or float this water.
The fishing is good along the New Hampshire/Vermont border all the way down to Hanover, the home of Dartmouth College.

As you may have guessed, this is not an easy river to fish.
There are many guides in the area that will help you out on this beautiful, dangerous river, and we reccomend their services to insure a safe trip.
Any time during the spring and fall, you'll find some sort of salmonid running up the river.

It's just that the tradition on this stream is so rich that it would seem a sin to leave it off.
It's full of eager brook trout up there, and few folks fish it.
The first place most people begin their fishing is at the Beaverkill Campground.
Also, it doesn't get nearly as warm in the summer as the lower reaches, so you can probably expect to catch a couple if you have to come in July or August.
At this point, the Willowomec (also a nice trout stream) flows in to form the Junction Pool.
After this pool, the river remains mostly accessible and has many other areas, such as Cairn's Pool, Horse Brook Run, Cook's Falls Pool, Horton Pool, and the Acid Factory that are legendary in the minds of fisherman.
Sometimes it will be in good, fishable shape all summer long, and at other times the water is so warm it is both irresponsible and unproductive to fish it.
Neither is it much of a trophy stream, although admittedly some fine browns are caught from time to time.
It's real value lies in the fact that it was one of the streams where American dry fly fishing was pioneered.
These are just ten streams that for one reason or another, we think are worthy of mention.
But it is true that these are ten fine trout streams, and they all have some aspects to them that are beautiful. http://www.rodflyfishing2.com/
