Thirsty For Pulaski’s Salmon River, we were driven, by a Royale Coach no less, in pursuit of chinook salmon and chasing steelhead. Bob Littlefield drove all the roads where fish might be as I managed his vegan diet and lack of catching any fish. But we travelled in style through upstate New York, meeting people but not fish and savoring some farm cuisine we came so close to catching. It’s a journey, this Pulaski fishing thing.
On a pretty late spring day, Cora waited a long time, watching a bobber, hoping for that first amazing trout. The Surfcasters made it happen. The Narragansett Surfcasters, lead by Bruce Bain, held another Take A Kid Fishing Day and this time, one sweet young woman left with a memories and maye a new perspective on life.
With midges and an ace guide, we fished Massachusett’s Deerfield River for rainbow, brook and pretty, elusive wild browns. Joe Benson was our guide; he led us easily and wisely, we caught, released and missed a few along the Charlemont stretch of America’s hardest working river. It was the best day eva.
Brackish Outfitters builds lifetime rods for anglers who appreciate silent streams, city canals and big surf beaches. Owner Geoff Klane ties flies, builds rods and guides clients through deep wooded stretches in search of wild brook trout and long runs of Cape Cod beaches where stripers lurk. Each build is art.
RITU’s Annual Fundraiser Banquet is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates cold water conservation, a fine dinner and cool gear auctions both live and silent. With George Daniel at the podium after dinner, you will stock up on gear and advise on how to cast and fish more effectively. This is a wonderful afternoon that supports Trout Unlimited in Rhode Island.
