Join us on Thursday, March 24th at 7pm to learn about the Royal River estuary with Zach Whitener!

Zach Whitener will tell us about his favorite part of the Royal River--the estuary! His home away from home for much of the year, Zach spends quite a bit of time here between guiding for striped bass, working as a scientist at the , recreational boating, and waterfowling. The second largest freshwater input to Casco Bay, the Royal River has long provided important habitats in the area, home to a wide variety of plants and animals since the ice sheet receded. Many people and animals utilize these habitats in different ways throughout the year and Zach is going to give us a look at some of them. Zach grew up in Casco Bay and is lucky to still call it home, blurring the lines of his professional and personal life spending as much time as he can on water. Come with your thoughts, insights, and questions about how you interact with the estuary too!

New hobby, new species in the kitchen! The other other red meat.

Checked off two rites of spring this morning: first flushed woodcock and first deer ticks 🥳🤦‍♂️😢

Up north? Down East? I don’t know, but the fish were big and the weather was all over the place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Happy solstice! If you look close to the right, you notice you’re favorite duck dog doing her favorite thing!

Cranberry-mushroom-Manischewitz seared venison. Picking cranberries is a great excuse for a November canoe ride with family and friends. Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends!

I may not be the best artist (see the bird on top?) or the best pie crust maker, but I have a lot of fun cooking new and unique things—I present to you, Grouse and Squirrel Pot Pie! 👨‍🍳

A few days and nights of fun in a WHOI basement working with a laser, plasma, mass spec, error messages, and bigeye tuna otoliths!

Perhaps the 4’ cheater bar was too ambitious…

Golfo di Napoli and Golfo di Sorrento are pretty easy on the eyes, and I really appreciate their commitment to fish and boats 😬

You can see the excitement on Zoodle’s face about taking up the lobster gear and me going away again for a couple weeks… I’ll be in and out for touch til mid September, so most striper charters are going to have wait for next year.

I’ve been doing a little squidding and last night’s supper was a true summer feast. Homemade black pasta (using a few ink sacks) with squid and lobster (that I also caught). 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

I could watch these for hours… now what to cook? 🦑🦑🦑

The Kerr Lab went out to do some field work today looking for samples for Snap-a-Striper and it was certainly a success! Snotty NE wasn’t the most fun, but we found a few fish to snap.

Fun morning, plenty of interested fish around!

So many anadromous fishes to chase, almost everything we caught in Alaska exhibit some form of anadromy. Sockeye, rainbows, pinks, grayling (well not you!), dolly varden…. Mission success for adding the life-species-list last week for all of us!

07/27/2021

Not quite right where I left them, but it’s good to have a welcoming committee back in Maine!

07/23/2021

The Denali backcountry is a pretty unreal place to work on casting dries! Grayling, trail-less hiking, mount tops, and more moose sheds than other hikers around.

07/09/2021

Taking up gear before vacation… that look, I think she knows she’s not coming with us. Not much reception and no striper action for the next couple weeks, hoping to add to the life species list.

I had a last minute cancellation so Saturday is open, if anyone wants to book a trip! Shoot me a text or call 207-615-6882. Fishing is good and the weather is perfect! Fly or spin

“What’s it gonna be?!”

06/08/2021

Fun morning with Ryan… and I don’t even know what to say about this dog… 🤦‍♂️

06/02/2021

Zoodle was pretty pumped this morning to bring her buddy Huck on his first fishing trip! Fishing is getting better, let me know if you want to book a trip, ‘tis this season.

Happy fish flop Friday! 🥳🥳🥳

The Toller Troller went on tour this weekend, its first trip up the big lake. What a fun weekend of boat rides, hiking, camping, and even a few fish. If you’ve never hiked Kineo or seen the cliffs from the back side, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Breakfast of champions, more Surf and Turf Eggs. Chicken eggs and alewife eggs 😬
