Capitol Outdoors' Adventure on Spring Lake

Capitol Outdoors' Adventure on Spring Lake

Like many anglers the weekend is a time to get out and do some fishing.  Over the past two weeks, and now on it's third week, the rain has been a constant reminder of mother nature's balance.  Rivers, lakes and city sewers are over flowing with water, which leaves the question for a lot of people, where to go fishing?

When we were first establishing Capitol Outdoors we wrote an article about how expensive fishing gear was, then a few weeks later we wrote an article about What Fishing Line to Use.  Fishing like everything else has evolved... the gear, lures, boat etc.  It is an ever-changing industry.

Heather's name was called... our party cheered & chanted with excitement as she yelled out Blind 5. After a morning chatting with old friends we ended up with a blind. That was last year, let's hope that this year we are just as lucky! Winning a blind is such a stress reliever. Just released IDNR Announces Schedule of 2015 Waterfowl Blind Drawing Sites

My New Hampshire Free Fishing Days

My New Hampshire Free Fishing Days

Recently Capitol Outdoors wrote an article about how June 5 - 8,2015 was Free Fishing Days in Illinois.  It just so happened that I got to enjoy Free Fishing Days  in New Hampshire.  New Hampshire also had its Free Fishing Days on June 6, 2015.  When I first found out I was hoping to be able to fish.

Even though we had a wedding to attend we managed to find sometime to get the family together and head to the beach.  The beach is located on Lake Winpesaukee just down the road from the house.

Wow, what can I say...  With mountains of forests, crystal clear lakes and streams, this is an outdoor persons dream.
