During an unusual late winter thaw, a large area in front of the Messer St. launch became ice free. After seeing a few fly fisherman working the area around the point, I decided to rig a new Rapala Albino Shad Rip Stop on a spinning and check the area out. I was hoping a perch or pickerel might be roaming the shallows in search of a meal but on the 5th cast to the right side of the ramp, the line jumped when pausing the jerkbait. After leaning back to set the hook and a few moments of fighting the mystery attacker, the fish came close enough to see in the clear water ... a decent brown trout. Definitely one of the earliest open water catches I've ever had here in NH.
