Over the last week I have guided a variety of fishing trips and can say without a doubt that we are enjoying some excellent fishing on freshwater and while the striper fishing is still slow in the Saint George there are fish in the river.
Last weekend was filled with family trips and lots of firsts. A couple of three year old twins were a total blast for two mornings as they took in their first fishing trips. One trip on saltwater where we saw lots of new sights and caught mackerel the second on freshwater where we caught bass, perch and pickerel. Another family with older boys fished for the first time and caught a tank full of mackerel.
As the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association I frequently talk with writers and reporters exploring some aspect of Maine guiding. As a result I am occasionally quoted in some publication or another. When we are discussing the industry and the future; the question of “nature tourism” or “eco tourism” always comes up.
