Perfect Mornings!

I look forward to autumn and fall in Maine each year. The weather is for the most part settled with clear days and cool nights. The days are getting shorter and an 8 AM start no longer feels like mid-day to me. The last several mornings I have been pretty much perfect cool but not cold with no wind so that the water is perfectly calm. We have had wind later in the day that can make fly fishing a challenge for those learning to fly fish.

After years of folks hearing me say how great September is many have begun to book trips this week and next are already very busy, before the last minute calls looking to spend some time outdoors on a pretty day. Clients are still taking family fishing trips, late this year. Don’t know what has changed but I am still spending at least a couple of mornings each week unhooking perch steadily under perfect blue skies.

The bass fishing has been excellent and of course the pickerel panic is about to happen any day now. This season does not last nearly long enough plan to spend some time in the Maine Outdoors before it is over.
