| ____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 1:38pm - arilliusbm ""] GOOD fish. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 1:42pm - Alx_Casket ""] Yeah, all there are in there are minnows and brown trout [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 1:43pm - DukeManjunk ""] ha! i own land in new hampshire, and on that land is a stretch of river much too shallow to ever even think about bringing a canoe/kayak down....i routinely catch fish 8-14 inches long |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 4:42pm - arilliusbm ""] I am not convinced that there'd be many GOOD fish on the Saco stretch that is the most frequently used recreational river in the country. Yes, there's probably some, but i'd throw money down on it. especially last year, I didnt see one fish unless we were closer to a larger body of water. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 4:45pm - largefreakatzero ""] Haha, if you could SEE all the fish, so could the osprey and any other predator. Trout use natural camo in shallow water to remain elusive. If you don't wet a line, you'll never know. In before "I'd rather snort a line than wet a line". |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 4:45pm - arilliusbm ""] Id rather wet a line nilla |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 4:47pm - largefreakatzero ""] My "in before" wasn't directed at you. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 4:56pm - arilliusbm ""] Outdoors > anything else. The more I'm surrounded by people, the more I want to leave and go off of the grid. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 5:12pm - DukeManjunk ""] only rock climbing is real... [img] |
| ________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 5:23pm - Burnsy ""] Are you into rock climbing at all, Duke? |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 5:24pm - DukeManjunk ""] No, i just get my friends to take pictures of me on lead on a multipitch route for shits and giggles. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 15,2012 5:26pm - Burnsy ""] That's awesome. |

I understand the reason you guys go on the off-season though. To each his own. LOVES WARM WATER ..DOESNT GO WHEN THE OAKS ARE BARREN This still stands. |
