Rain has not been far from anyone’s mind around here since the end of August. With Tropical Storm Irene dumping over 6 inches of rain on parts of the Mount Washington Valley and the more recent rain we saw this last week Conway Lake home owners should have a pretty good idea of any areas [...]

The Loon Pair

admin — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 23:19:36 +0000

The nest wasn’t there this year. Two years in a row high water combined with boat wake has flooded the mat of sticks and sand. The year before that the loon pair had fledged two young loons. Humans have it easy despite claims by parents to the contrary. While I was disappointed there would be [...]

The first thing to remember is that a driveway is a surface and will therefore be exposed to rain and snow melt.

Conway Lake Salmon

Ask a scientist when spring begins and he will tell you March 20, the vernal equinox. Ask an Angler and the answer is April 1, first day of salmon season on NH lakes. As one of the 14 New Hampshire Lakes managed for landlocked salmon, Conway Lake offers the spring angler a crimson opportunity to reel in a landlocked salmon.
