Jared Kane
As they say, Kane is Able...

Name: Jared Kane

City: Dover, NH

Occupation: Loan Officer

Started fly fishing: When I was 14 years old, I used to spend my summers with my Grandfather in Northern Maine fishing for wild native brookies. From then on, I was hooked!

I started tying flies and got my New Hampshire guide license in college. I also started the UNH Fly Fishing Club. Pretty much fished 300 days year at every brook, river and stream I could find in New Hampshire and Maine.

Best day: Wow, many come to mind…it's hard to choose just one! Catching a 36-inch, 19-pound Lake trout in New York on 6lb tippet (an unofficial IGFA record, but I released the fish). Fly fishing for wild trout in Scotland couple years back…or fishing for small native brookies in a small brook in the North Maine woods with my Grandfather.

Favorite lake, river, or salt fishing spot: I've fished all the major spots in New England (Connecticut River, Penobscot, Grand Lake Stream, Rapid, etc.) but to tell you the truth, nothing beats pulling 12-20 inch native brookies out of the remote pond my family has a camp on in Northern Maine!

Trip of a lifetime: My dream has been to catch an Atlantic salmon. I did my senior research thesis in 2002 on the Extirpation Of Salmon from New England Rivers and became obsessed with catching just one! I spent every last cent I had after college to go to New Brunswick and fish the Restigoche with a buddy…four days of freezing cold and no hits, but I would do it all over again if I had the chance! I'm currently planning a summer-long trip to fish as many places in New England and document it on video with my buddies.
