Stream trout help

Well,the fish and game has pretty much ended their stocking for the season. There aren't too many cold water streams that maintain the oxygen levels needed for trout to survive the hot months of summer near Alton. You could take a ride to the Baker River in Rumney but again water airation and temp may be a problem. Best bet is to drive much further north to fish the Connecticut River in Pittsburg with Murphy Dam and a bottom release of cold water year round.

There is a brook that runs beside Jesus Valley road that I have always had good luck at. I think it is a little low now.Also the Ela river that is right off rt11 in New Durham has produced very nice "brookies" for me. You can fish some spots from the road but need a canoe or jon boat to get to the good spots.
