5/8

Tuesday morning I woke up excited for the day. My plan was to head south and Fish the Warner River. When my family first moved to New Hampshire in 2009 we moved to Warner NH. We also lived very close to this river so I do have some prior knowledge of this river. I started at the first covered bridge that's just south of Riverside Park. It's funny who you meet while out and about. First right as I was getting out of my truck a older gentleman that as out for his daily walk, stopped and asked if I had fished here before. He said how he use to fish this river back in the day and how he would catch fish every time he went. We talk for a little while about fly fishing and the river, before he went on his way he told me about another covered bridge upstream where he thought they were more likely to stock. I didn't tell him that I knew the exact bridge he was talking about because I crossed it daily years ago. I didn't spend long at this next bridge though. I hadn't been in the water for 5 minutes before a 14 inch long snapping turtle decide to swim up to me and say hi. I didn't know I could run so fast in waders.
