974.0. "Merrimack River Trip" by RAINBO::MACINTYRE (Fish are rising up like birds) Tue Feb 07 1989 17:16

Anyone interested in a 3 day canoe trip down the Merrimack?
                
A friend and I are considering a 3 day float sometime in Apr/May and we'd
welcome anyone who'd like to join us. 

We'd be putting in at the confluence of the Pemigiwasett and Winnipesaukee 
rivers in Franklin, NH which forms the headwaters of the Merrimack on a Friday 
morning, camp along the shoreline Friday and Saturday nights, spend the 
days doing more casting than paddling, and Sunday afternoon take out at the 
launch by the roller skating rink in Concord, NH.

(geez, last spring it was Okeechobee, I guess that's what happens 
when you start having kids 8^)

974.1	campsites	CASPRO::PRESTON	Better AI than none at all	`Wed Feb 08 1989 12:29`	4
	Do you have any campsites spec'd out, or are you going to wing it? Ed
974.2	just be considerate of landowners	RAINBO::MACINTYRE	Fish are rising up like birds	`Wed Feb 08 1989 12:51`	14
	No campsite locations checked out yet, but I'm going to try and get on that section of the river prior to the trip to check things out. It shouldn't be any problem finding a place to camp for the night since the shores are forested through that section. Just find the first good looking spot after dusk, setup camp, and make sure you leave the place in as good or better condition than when you arrived. I did read about one small area where overnight camping was not allowed, but I'm pretty sure that was on the Conneticut River route that I was considering. Don Mac

	Yesterday we decided to finally do the canoe/fishing trip mentioned in .0, next weekend Jul 29/30. We'll be doing it in 2 days rather than 3 days. At the moment we have just 2 canoes going. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know. donmac
974.4	Waaaay up there?	CASPRO::PRESTON	What makes the Hottentots so hot?	`Fri Jul 21 1989 16:22`	5
	Isn't Franklin NH way up there by Canada, or am I off the wall on this one? Ed
974.5	there's mosquitos on the river	RAINBO::MACINTYRE	Terminal Angler	`Fri Jul 21 1989 16:58`	5
	Yeap, your off the wall Ed 8^). Franklin is 24 miles (as the river runs) north of Concord, NH. Don Mac
974.6	Yeah, right, FRANKLIN, not FRANCIS..	CASPRO::PRESTON	What makes the Hottentots so hot?	`Fri Jul 21 1989 17:35`	6
	Oh, now I remember. I was thinking of Lake Francis (sounds a little like Franklin, sort of...) That's way up there - supposed to have some giant pickerel, too. Ed
974.7	good time	RAINBO::MACINTYRE	Terminal Angler	`Tue Aug 01 1989 13:58`	7
	We ended up with 6 people & 3 canoes on our canoe trip last weekend. The river is real nice up that way. Caught a bunch of bass. Definitely plan on doing that section more often. donmac
