This Fathers Day Maine Outdoors is partnering with Sweetgrass Winery right up the road here in Union. I will be offering free fly casting lessons at the winery from 1 to 4 Fathers Day (June 16) afternoon. There will also be a tasting of their wines and I am told area cheese makers will be offering samples. Sounds like a pretty great outing with your dad to me. Or join me on Saturday I will be at the Moose Calling Championship in Greenville, ME as part of their Moose Mania weekend.
The summer season is getting underway and I am taking reservations every day (actually you can make them online). Make yours soon!

The Perfect Eagle Watching Trip
Spent the morning with two ladies on an eagle watching trip we saw maybe a dozen eagles including two eaglets still in the nest. The weather was perfect, cool with a breeze from the west certainly not windy. A perfectly clear blue sky overhead I picked them up at their hotel in Rockport.

Freshwater Bass Spawn is Starting
Freshwater bass spawn in the spring based on the water temperature. For us the smallmouth bass spawn first followed by the largemouth a couple of weeks later. We all care because the males first scuff a bed in the gravel in water under six feet deep. These show as white spot in the gravel about the size of a hubcap on the bottom. After the female deposits her eggs and they are fertilized the males defend these nests fiercely. This provides some amazing fishing action not to mention an excellent sight casting opportunity.
