What a day on the water. 70 degrees fishing was good. The best part was both clients landing a fish on their last cast. A smallmouth bass and a brook trout. Simply an amazing morning!

How do you stay comfortable when it is wet and cold?

Raining and cold today (mid afternoon temperature 46) luckily not a lot of wind. I had replaced our mailbox last spring but the latch was clearly not up to the assigned task. So I was at the end of my driveway replacing it with the one that I salvaged from the mailbox it replaced. One of the neighbo...

A Thought on Conservation

I recently heard this piece on public radio and it jogged my mind on a topic I have been thinking about lately.

What does it mean to be a Maine Guide?

I have noticed several newspaper articles that include being a Registered Maine Guide on someone’s list of qualifications. This is especially true of various environmental issues.
