Northern Points Fishing Expedition
Ages: 14 - 16
Those who cast know that fishing is not only a sport, it’s a lifestyle: pursuing the clearest mountain streams and deepest pools; rising early to get the first catch and seeing the mist on the pond on a clear morning. This new fishing expedition was designed for those who are looking to take their fishing skills to the next level with patient practice and an adventure into the cold waters of Northern New England. Beginning at Kroka Village we will test our luck in the abundant ponds and streams of southwest New Hampshire, returning each night to cook our catch over the open fire. From here we embark on a journey to the Connecticut River headwaters where the swiftwater riffles are perfect for floating our canoes downstream. Carrying everything we need with us, we will practice whitewater canoeing in class I-II, camp on the wooded shores, and earn our keep by catching dinner as often as we can. If that doesn’t hook you, add to it tying your own flies, a visit to a fish hatchery, and the simple pleasure of sitting around the fire and stargazing at the end of the day.
