Figured I'd try the Tilton with my first trip since I've been back. Long story short, no fish caught or even seen. I talked to a guy (I think the caretaker) who said they dumped yesterday, but they mu...

Despite my better judgement, I went to the Tilton on a weekend. I was hoping the rain would deter some people and it wouldn't be as crowded. As luck would have it I was somewhat right. The swimming ho...

I've never fished Tilton before and had heard bad things. I understand what people were talking about, but I wouldn't let it deter me from fishing there again.

I decided to sleep in this morning, so I didn't arrive at my spot until 1100. I arrived to a river flowing much faster and muddier than the last two weeks. Because of the stained water I decided to th...

As much as I try, I just can't get the hang of drift fishing, so I switched back to my blue fox spinner since it's more comfortable.
