Events, Merrimack River Watershed Council

An event from the Merrimack River Watershed Council–reprinted by permission.

Meet 9:00 am on June 30 in Manchester, NH. Rte 293 to exit 6 (Amoskeag Bridge). Before crossing river, turn right into Amoskeag Fishway parking lot.

PISC and Parker River Wildlife Refuge Teach Surfcasting to Area Youth

Events, Service Events

On June 16th, board members Peter Novello, John Liss, Earl Pacella and Georgette and Kevin Henrich helped Refuge personnel run the fishing station  at the “Let Go Outside” event held at the Parker River Wildlife Refuge. From 10- 3, these people helped participants rig bait, cast their lines and taught them various things about fishing. At one point all 30 rods were out with people enjoying what turned out to be a fantastic weather day. Unfortunately only one fish cooperated, but all in all the day was a great success. Thank you to the volunteers who helped make this event enjoyable for the participants.

Summer Club Fishing Trips

Events, Fishing, Fishing Trips

Our purpose is to be both an educational club and a social club. Club fishing trips are social events and the best way to put into practice everything we talk about at our formal club meetings. Come out and learn from fellow club members.

These trips are open to all club members (at no charge.) Bring your own gear including bait and lures. Remember that all Junior trips (announced on the club forum and via email) are also open to all club members. Juniors trips are not listed here.

These trips are designed for our adult members with some fishing experience and their own equipment.  The trips may be appropriate for teens under close supervision by a parent.  Novice fishermen (especially our Junior members) should start with attending Junior Fishing trips (announced via email, not this website.)
