Today was one of those perfect days we all talk about. No clouds perfect blue sky and little wind. The temperature this morning was 48 degrees with a high of 75 this afternoon, pretty much a perfect day.

Over the years life vest have gotten more comfortable and they have come to cover a larger range of sizes. Maine Outdoors requires everyone on a canoe trip to wear a vest and kids under 10 are required to wear them any time they are in a boat.

As summer vacation draws to a close I have run several family fishing trips with young kids. Usually for yellow perch but lately a few bass and white perch have gotten into the mix.

Pretty exciting stuff for young kids and old guides.
