“Will the wind ever stop blowing?” is a question almost everyone is asking lately. Temperatures feel cooler than average to many anglers, but the reality is that this April was slightly above normal. Early ice-outs and loads of windy days still have many feeling behind.

Well, you were not seeing things. It snowed in mid-April. The recent cold snap brought wind, rain, and snow throughout New England. Many anglers hunkered down to wait out the storm, but a few braved the elements, and most were rewarded handsomely.

This week saw a massive uptick in trout fishing across New England as stocking trucks have been rolling throughout the region and trout seasons are open.

Lake trout, salmon, rainbow trout, and saltwater haddock fishing are on this week’s menu. With waters warming in many New England lakes, the fishing is heating up.
