I’ve made two scouting trips on the Saint Gorge this week and can report an amazing number of eagles, cormorants by the thousands and a few ospreys. The ravens are still in the rookery at the head of the tide and calling to each other steadily. But not one striper to the boat, I did have one half hearted bite yesterday morning but no luck on setting the hook. Water temperatures are almost warm enough (59 up river and 52 in the lower river) and should improve over these next few days with a mid day low tide and sunny skies to warm the flats.
As of today Argy and I have been married for twenty nine years. Time sure flies when you are having fun! If you had told me that day all of the adventures we would have together I would not have believed it. Two great kids, an beautiful place to live and a couple of amazing careers. What more could anyone ask?
Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of the summer season for Maine Outdoors and the telephone was very busy Friday afternoon with folks making last minute plans. The weather looks to be a perfect start to the summer season warm, sunny and pleasant. In fact even though we have had showers the last few days we could use some rain. It is amazing to see how quickly the river has fallen to near mid summer levels. I have been wading and trout fishing this week and because of that am more aware of the level than usual.
