After all of the rain we have had all of our lakes and ponds are very high. Some like Seven Tree in Union are up feet rather than inches because of the river flow. 
In these conditions I like to fish the lakes higher up in their watersheds or on small watersheds that seem to suffer fewer effects.
Our current stretch of weather has been very wet that is for sure. A friend who raises strawberries in Warren reported 3.5 inches of rain in 24 hours and an apple farmer in Southern Maine reported over 23 inches of rain for June so far. All we can do is hope that it is not a repeat of the summer of 2009 that was an almost total wash out.
You have to admit that only in Maine could you have a moose calling championship. Held for the first time this year the event was held in conjunction with the annual drawing of moose hunting permits in Oquossic.
This is a great interview about the event from National Public Radio the morning of the event, Roger Lambert is a personal friend and was a member of the Maine Professional Guides Association Board of Directors until April.
