Summer is in full swing this week with great weather in the forecast, a nearly full calendar and lots of different activities. I will be striper fishing , hiking and a group will learn to fly fish with me one afternoon.

I’ve made the trip down onto the salt water a couple of times this week and am pleased to report that there are indeed a few stripers around. So far all seem to be larger fish between 28 and 36 inches.

The fishing reminds me of the early 1990’s with only a few wary fish. Things that we used to have to do to be successful are back. Most noticeable of these is needing to be on the water early not the leisurely 8AM starts I can get away with on my freshwater trips.

Saturday morning in the drizzle and fog I guided a canoe trip for a father and his grown daughter. The trip was most enjoyable. I had arranged our direction of travel so the light breeze was at our backs and the paddling was easy with that assistance and the conversation a delight.
