very evocative writing! reminds me of a piece i wrote in my youth about my wanderings in the woods and fields near the nashua river.

there's a nice inlet off the main river, behind my parents' house. you could put in there (does that sound dirty? oh well.).

I put in at Main Street in Dunstable, Mass., that's my favorite stretch. I went downstream and back, turning around at the stone bridge near the state line, but you can also keep going into Nashua... I understand the marshes at Fields Grove are impassable this time of year, but in early spring you can make it that far (there's a dam and tunnel beyond that). I'm partial to smaller rivers. If you check it out, also look for the smaller branches off to the more or less west (your left, going downstream).

Wow, reminds me of younger days when I had my own solo canoe (an Old Town Pack) and would go out on Woodward Pond (out near Keene). I saw gigantic snappers (glad I didn't fall into that water...), a buck swimming across one early morning, a hawk in a dead tree on an islet keeping an eye on its lucky find (a fawn that was half-in, half-out of the water, poor thing), and many other amazing sights. Happy paddling...

No doubt, but I didn't see them! I didn't see any fish, come to think of it. I'm sure they are in there, but the water is a bit murky.
