The family fishing trip this morning started off with a sighting of a flock of eleven loons working over a school of perch on Megunticook Lake in Camden. As autumn gets going the loons gather where the fishing is the best so that we are often in the same places. There were other loons in other parts of the lake.
Yesterday afternoon I was about to start a family fishing trip on Seven Tree Pond here in Union, when I cut the motor and was about to lower the anchor over the side of the boat I heard lots of eagle cries. I looked across the cove and could see an adult eagle in a tree with a young eagle perched right below it.
This week I have been on a variety of trips from fishing with families for perch and mackerel to fishing on the Saint George out of the Grand Lake Canoe and the Lund Alaskan. None though was as pleasant as the sunset canoe trip on Tuesday evening.
