The new fishing rule book just arrived. Rulebooks for each season land here because Maine Outdoors is a license agent and licenses when required are included in the price of our fishing trips. Most noticeable is the cover of the new book, not a photo but rather a reminder in big letters across the cover that this book is good for two years and not to throw it away.
This morning I went smelt fishing with Captain George Harris of Superfly Charters. Our party was made up of George, my son Noah and friend Don. It was a very cold morning here around 3 below zero at 6AM when I thought to check. Not as much wind as the last couple of days though.
Late Monday morning I received an e-mail asking about a quick fishing trip to shoot some video for a web project. Since the weather was sunny and warm I agreed and loaded my fishing equipment. Once at the boat launch on Megunticook Lake in Camden though I was nervous. It is getting late in the season and the water temperatures are getting low. Maybe the fish would not cooperate.
