Little River




More like a brook than a river, this gem still has "native" trout production. Little River meanders through many eastern towns. It starts way up in Hampton and flows through the following towns; Scotland, Canterbury, and Hanover. Some of this river is not accessible at all. It is stocked by the state at a number of locations. This is a tough river to flyfish, because It runs mostly in deep woods. I have fished this river since I was very young. It is a good idea to ask local landowners for access.





Flys-Best Bets


Streamers---Woolybuggers, Grey Ghost, Hornberg, and Sculpin Imitations work well.

Nymphs---Stonefly (various types), Hare's ear, Red Fox Squirrel Hair are enough to get you started.

Drys---Caddis are sparce on this river but don't rule them out. Mayflys are here but not in any force, I always carry some small ( size 18 ) Adams for this river.
