I am no expert, but I have read enough books that tell me wild brook trout, in order to reproduce and thrive, need clean cold water. Sadly, these days, clean cold water is starting to sound like an oxymoron. But, believe it not, just a short drive from the busy streets of North Conway, New Hampshire; you can access the Ellis River and experience some of the best wild brook trout fishing in all of New Hampshire. In fact, there are parts of the Ellis River, that I would gladly spend the rest of my life fishing, day-dreaming, relaxing, eating, and napping (the key ingredients of a great day of fishing).
