It rained heavily again last night and today we have drizzle and fog. This June is the wettest on record and I would guess that the number of sunny days is pretty low. The tidal portion of the Saint George looks like a chocolate milkshake and the freshwater section is out of its banks. Not very conducive weather for the sort of outdoor activities that Maine Outdoors offers in the summer.
I have been really lucky and have squeezed in most of my fishing trips this month between (and sometimes during) rain showers. Nature exploration trips simply do not generate interest if the weather is less than perfect so none were booked in June. Up until this weekend most of what I had in the calendar had gone in spite of the weather. That all seemed to have changed on Sunday when a series of trips cancelled and I went from a busy 4th of July week to almost wide open. I guess that folks have just had enough of the rain and are deciding to stay indoors or at home. I was able to reschedule some striper trips because of the water quality and what it does to the fishing.
I can certainly relate to not wanting to be out in the wet and cold anymore. The good weather days have been productive for freshwater fishing though. Clients enjoyed memorable trips on some of the local ponds last week even though the water was very high.
