Spent the last days of September fishing in the North Maine Woods for native brook trout. The trout are getting ready to spawn and are in beautiful fall colors. We had one male fish with a kype (hooked jaw) and caught good numbers of fish.
Saturday Argy and I went to the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity. A warm fall day but the color in the leaves seemed like it changed in the time we were at the fair. With much less green showing in the afternoon.
Back in July an e-mail landed in my inbox asking if I was available to guide two days of hiking in September. My first thought was that it would be during the nicest weather of the entire year and even though hiking is not one of my regular offerings a custom hiking trip would be great fun. Several e-mails later and I have arranged to spend two days hiking with Stephanie from Australia. Who would be making the trip to our area with her family as a celebration of her fortieth birthday (she wanted me to tell how old she was, I did ask).
