My trip to Groton, CT last week was very pleasant, Argy was able to go along and we had a sort of business vacation. The drive was simple and using the GPS for guidance we arrived with no trouble without directions, pretty amazing when you think about it. When we arrived at the Elks Club there was a marina out back. We walked out and met a couple of fishermen with a nice catch of winter flounder and an excellent recommendation for a place to eat dinner.
The CT RI Coastal Fly Fishers meeting was a pleasant event and they were a great group to speak to. We met a bunch of great folks that share a common interest in fly fishing.
Speaking to groups like these is a great way to make the winter more interesting and provides a way to visit another area. The stripers were just starting to arrive there which made me feel like I was a little behind in getting ready to start fishing. After all Mother's Day and the arrival of the alewives is not far off and the stripers are frequently right behind them.
Our return home on Friday was uneventful except for a stop at LL Bean and a new pair of sunglasses for me. I am back to Ray Ban’s after a few years wearing other brands and am as pleased as ever with the quality.
Next week I am speaking to the Rockland Kiwanis on Monday at the Samoset and am looking forward to a local crowd and talking about the future of fish and wildlife management as well as what Maine Outdoors has to offer.
