Our 31st Season
GREETINGS FROM NORTHERN N.H.!

      

   It's starting to feel more like summer now - the loons are calling, the hummingbirds are zinging around the lodge, and the trout are busy rising on Back Lake. It's a great time of year to be here, even though we had a bit of snow fall on Memorial Day weekend (we should be safe from that now we hope).  We're entering our prime time for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, etc. and we're hoping that Mother Nature cooperates with us in our outdoor pursuits.

Smile Mike!

If it's fishing that drives you, please follow along with our Fishing Blog to give you an idea of what is happening up here.  We've had some nice trout taken on the lake so far this season, with Mike Fitzgerald's massive 5+ pound brook trout taking the top prize. The Connecticut River has been difficult with all of the high water from last week's rain, but hopefully that calms down soon. On a positive note, Lake Francis Inlet and many of the brook trout ponds have been very good fishing lately.

 

    We also have some affordable Getaway Packages if you're interested in coming our way for other outdoor activities this summer and fall. All of our Getaway Packages include hearty and satisfying breakfasts and dinners at the Rainbow Grille each day, along with half price boat rentals. 

 

Let us take all the work out of planning your vacation this year!

 The Return of Mr. Hex to Back Lake
 
The hex .... he's almost here!
The hexagenia is one house guest you always look forward to repeat visits from.
   It won't be long now, and in fact it could actually be any day now that we start to see some hexes (hexagenia limbata is the proper term for this gigantic mayfly) around the lodge. Once it starts, it begins a period of 2 - 3 weeks of intense evening fishing for all of us on Back Lake, and remains the most anticipated event of the fishing season here.
 
   When it actually begins is up for debate - some years it has started as late as June 20, while the last few years it has been earlier and earlier (June 10 last year). Whenever it starts, it signals the beginning of some intense feeding activity for our trout and bass, when even the largest of them throw caution to the wind in pursuit of an easy meal. After three weeks, the hex hatch usually dissipates right around the July 4th holiday.
 
We'll keep you posted on the hex activity on our Fishing Blog as often as we can, and give us a call at 1-800-835-6343 if you can venture out for a few evenings of great fly fishing.
