Over the past year I have been taking stock of where Maine Outdoors is and what the near future might hold. First the big item (many of you ask about this); I intend to guide for at least the next five years and hopefully longer. My Registered Maine Guides license will renew next year for five years. My Coast Guard license renewed last winter for five more years.
I see many newly minted guides online these days and want to congratulate each one for their perseverance and knowledge. The process has become more standardized in the roughly 40 years since I first got my license but no less daunting, Well done to each of you and proud to have you join our ranks. You have demonstrated a knowledge of Maine’s environment, fish, wildlife, and safety considerations that only a few possess.
This winter there is time in the schedule to offer a few ice fishing trips. These trips will take place on beautiful frozen local lakes, where participants can try their hand at catching a variety of fish such as bass, perch, crappie and pike.
