As you might expect there are some fun parts of being a guide and to me the early season is one of them. My goal is to spend time at each of the places that I intend to guide in the coming season. The real 
purpose is to be aware of any big changes that may impact a client trip. The fun part is that I get to fish a number of places and just get back on the water.
Yesterday we had enough snow to cover the ground. Sort of discouraging but spring is always a one step forward two steps back affair in Maine. Today and the rest of the week will make up for it by being 
sunny and seasonably warm. Not summer mind you but warmer than yesterday. To mark the snowstorm I did a little fly fishing for trout and managed to land a couple of brook trout.
After 30 years at Maine Outdoors and several years as the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association I am sometimes presented with amazing opportunities. Last week I got to 
introduce Maine Senator Susan Collins at the Associations annual banquet.
