Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

I have a lake-house in Andover NH and there are trout in the lake but i have always loved stream fishing. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions where to fish and using what types of flies? Any little bit of information for any part of New Hampshire because i don't mind driving for fish.

I don't know where Andover is in relation to Conway and Gorham but you could try the Swift river which flows west to east and joins the Saco near Conway. Then there is the Ellis River near Jackson, the Peabody River near Mt. Washington, and the Androscoggin River which starts up in Errol and flows south through Milan, Berlin, and Gorham before it hooks back into Maine.

Dude, check out the Connecticut river in Pittsburgh NH. The "Trophy Stretch" is particularly attractive from late April (beware of deep water) to october.
