I started a thread in the History Forum, which you may find of interest: The Merrimack River: its source and its tributaries (http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/showthread.php?p=22731#post22731)
So far the chapter has described the geography of Lake Winnipesaukee. The next installment will be on the fishing.
The book was published in 1860 and is very interesting.
For example, did you know?:
A variety of salt-water fish were some years since placed in this lake by experimenting parties; but as nothing was seen or known of them afterwards, it wais presumed they found their level either in a "watery grave" or through the channel of the Winnipesaukee and the Merrimack in a more congenial element, the briny deep.
I hope the forum members enjoy this chapter as much as I have. :D
