Set in the rugged landscape of northern New Hampshire, White Mountain Anglers, LLC offers guided fly fishing trips centered around the scenic waterways near Dummer. This part of Coos County brims with pristine rivers and streams, rich with native and stocked trout—making it a prime destination for anglers of all skill levels. The Androscoggin River, in particular, forms a lively backdrop for float and wading trips where visitors can engage directly with the dynamic sport of fly fishing.
Led by Mason, an expert guide known for his patient instruction and deep local knowledge, White Mountain Anglers provides more than just casting lines. Guests don’t just fish—they learn the subtleties behind spotting feeding trout, selecting flies that match natural hatches, and refining casting techniques. This attention to skill-building has earned the company glowing reviews highlighting both the abundance of catches—rainbows, browns, brookies, and landlocked salmon—and the enriching teaching experience.
