I fished New Hampshire and Vermont last weekend. The first night, I camped in Twin Mountain, New Hampshire. It is about 20 minutes north of Franconia Notch. Before fishing Profile Lake (so named for its position below a rock outcrop known as the Old Man in the Mountain that collapsed in 2003), I stopped at a collectible shop. The owner was a woman who was 90. She looked 70. This lovely lady grew up in Twin Mountain and was a World War II vet. She was also a fly fisher and was [...]

In late April, I fished the Delaware River in the Catskill Mountains. My friend, Carlo, Maggie, my Miniature Schnauzer, and I drove five hours from Boston. We were meeting Chippy D. at the West Branch Angler in Deposit, New York. You could hear the river flow from our cabin porch.

Carlo is a Day Trader whose longtime girlfriend left him. She took everything: the house, the car, the bank accounts, etc. Even though she dropped the bomb [...]
