You have all heard of Nessie of Loch Ness, well this is Lake Winnisquams Nessie.

The Saddle fish was a story I found back in the 1960's, It supposedly swam in Lake Winnisquam in New Hampshire. I believe a fisherman tried to lasso the fish as it was quite large.He somehow got on the saddle part of the fish and held on, I understand the fish took him for quite a ride and finally pulled him down never to be seen again, either of them. They claim he still rides the big fish after dark.

If you have any fish tales you would like to share please feel free to email me or comment. Would love to hear your opinion of these strange tales.

There is another legend we got wind of called the Furry trout, I guess we had a severely cold winter one year back in the 1960's,about 40 deg.below zero, and the ice fisherman caught this exceptional fish. Appears to have been a sign of a really cold winter.

How's this for strange
