New England is famous for the changeable weather but spring takes it to the extreme. In the last week we have had warm sun, snow, rain, of course clouds and wind to make the picture complete. In spite of the variety this spring seems to be coming a week or two ahead of normal For those that fish the rivers and streams the alder leaves will be the size of a mouse ear after a couple of sunny days. Then it will then be time to chase trout in the river. Actually I have heard a few good reports lately but got rained out on my most recent attempt to check on the fishing personally.

We have enjoyed some amazing spring weather over the last several days. Temperatures were well into the seventies with lots of sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. This is of course to balance out the rainy month of March. Our local weather station reported over eleven inches for the month. Needless to say the river was out of its banks and the ponds are beyond bank full!

Last weekend Argy, Noah and I hiked to the top of Maiden Cliff in Camden. The cliff is very plain from Megunticook Lake and I usually point out the cross high up on the cliff face to clients on fishing trips. I also recommend the short hike up the trail for the view; you can see out over Penobscot Bay for some distance and look down on the lake. We hiked up to right above the cross and took this picture looking across the lake back toward the boat launch on Route 105 where I start and end my fishing trips.
