Fall!!

It's finally fall!! My favorite time of year, big fish all colored up, cool water and of course hunting. To me fall entitles hunting and fishing my brains out, putting huge miles on the truck and burning through boxes and boxes of shells. Hey you can sleep when your dead right? This past week I put almost 500 miles on my truck and 8 miles on the drift boat in search of some colored up fall trout, And I wasn't dissapointed! Last week I had some of the best fishing I have ever had. One day landing 20 wild brook trout between 14 and 20 inches. Between two of us we caught over 40 akmost all of which where brook trout. Sunday I floated Solon, It was a very windy and bright day making fishing tough, but a great day was had anyways. Here are some pictures of some tubby trout from last week.

Summer Time!!

Since the last post summer has come in to full swing. We haven't been able to post to much because of summer jobs and a general lack of time to go fishing. I did go on one trip to the Rangeley area which was awesome and we caught a bunch of nice wild brook trout up to 20 inches. Now we have started to focus on warm water species, mostly bass and pike which are an absolute blast to catch on a fly rod and hit flies like a fish should. Here are some pictures of the last month.

Now that turkey season is over for me I have gotten a little bit of time to do some fishing. Currently I am on Peaks Island for a kayaking class until the first so I cant do any freshwater. But I am getting the chance to do some salt water which is pretty cool. The water temp is 58 degrees currently in casco bay which is up 6 degrees from yesterday. Yesterday we kayaked for 4 hours all around peaks and little diamond and we didn't see any sign of fish any where. I think its still alittle early. I have heard reports of stripers up in the rivers chasing bait which is a good sign. Hopefully when I am back on land I get the oppurtutnity to get down to the portland area to try to catch a few. Last weekend I did get the chance to go on a quick trip to camp to put the water in and fish Grand Lake Stream with my dad. We timed it perfectly with a drop of 450 cfs. The fish were in teh river and they were hungry, I caught nine fish 6 salmon, two brrok trout and a bass. All the salmon were over 17 the biggest well over twenty. Stonefly and caddis nymphs did the trick with lots of weight to get them down deep.
