When you book a stay in one of the comfortable, cozy cabins at Lopstick, you can access more than 21 fishable bodies of water. When you check-in we will have a print out at the front desk with directions from Lopstick to many of these places.

Upper Connecticut River

Starting as a trickle near the Canadian border in Pittsburg, NH, the river forms a chain of the deep, cold-water Connecticut Lakes, full of lake trout and Landlocked Salmon, before flowing some 411 miles south to Long Island Sound. The river itself holds Brook Trout, Rainbow trout, and large Brown Trout. Landlocked Salmon make their way into the river during spring to chase smelt and return in the fall to spawn. The river has two fly-fishing only sections equating to approximately 6 miles of river. Two tail-water dams provide cold, clean water for miles downstream making the summer fishing on the Connecticut River some of the best in the state. One of which is the “Trophy Stretch” of the Connecticut River begins a mile south of Lopstick. This is a tail-water release, fly fishing only stretch which is famous to anglers from all over. The river from Lake Francis is also tail-water release south through town is open to general regulations. This section will maintain cold temp for approximately 30 miles downstream.

Androscoggin River

Our guides also drift on the Androscoggin River, starting near Errol, New Hampshire and running east into Maine. Home to Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown trout and Landlocked Salmon. The Androscoggin is primarily a nymphing and streamer river but highly sought for its Alder fly hatch, usually during the latter part of June. Float trips are scheduled mid-May through the end of June and again in September and October because the months of July and August it is too warm for good fishing
