Water Needed
The lack of water this year has been very concerning. We did not have a typical winter with an adequate snowpack and many of the larger lakes in the southern part of the state did not have a lot of ice covering them. While this helps with our heating bills and driving...
Good Times Are Made On The Water
There are times before a trip begins that you get the feeling that the day will be special. Our most recent trip was just like that. We were bringing our gear up as the sun was coming up giving us an awesome view of the pond. Mist was rising from the water, the birds...
“How Will We Know?”
"How will I know when a fish takes my lure?" This is the most common question that I am asked when an angler trolls for the first time. When a fish takes your streamer or lure there is no question as the rod bounces rapidly. I just think back to when I first began...
Spring Is Here
I think we were a little spoiled with how good the fishing was in the early part of the open water season. It was only a matter of time before we had another snap of cold weather. Often times the bite will invariably slow down, but you can still catch fish if you put...
Early Season Success
With the milder winter many of the lakes and ponds in the southern part of the state shed their covering of ice early. The ice fishing season was fair at best and some larger lakes never safely iced over, so they received minimal fishing pressure. That bodes very well...
Hardwater Fun
Going ice fishing is always a leap of faith. If you have never done this type of angling it can be nerve racking. When I go out for the first time each year I always look for signs that others have been out already. If there are ice shacks on the water I feel much...
Looking Forward
Before we close the chapter on a wonderful 2015 season we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past season. We had some tremendous clients this year and landed some quality fish all the while having a great time. We are constantly looking for new ways to offer...
Seasons of Change
I have to be honest...I have been dealing with a little bit of writer's block. Every time I sit down to share with everyone what has been going on since my last post I just stare at the screen or quickly find myself flipping through the pictures trying to glean some...
Reflection: Part 3
After leaving the Roach River we were on the West Branch of the Penobscot below North Twin Dam the next day. As Jeff and I approached the river, salmon were taking caddis from the surface with splashy rises, which only increased our excitement. It seems like this...
Reflection: Part 2
Usually we spend a whole week up on the Roach River during the last weeks of September, but this year we only spent a few days up there. I knew I had to make this trip as it would help return some normalcy to my life. Water has an awesome ability to help heal and...
