Yesterday I guided a couple of fisherman from Texas. I decided to try Megunticook because of the recent stockings of rainbow trout and the fact that it would be less affected by the recent rains and high water. We started around 11:30 and launched at Bog Brook with no problem plenty of water for the 20’ Lund. We fished in the west end of the lake and caught 6 Rainbows the largest about 14” and 8 Bass all largemouth up to about three pounds (a surprise to me) in three hours.
I finished my upland bird hunting season at Libby Camps on Saturday. Luckily my hunter wanted to finish early that afternoon which allowed me to leave by three in the afternoon. The forecast was for snow up there and I am sure that they got some; the precipitation was a mixture of rain and snow as I drove south until Medway. I drove through wind and rain but made it home safe and sound by eight.
This fall has been outstanding in terms of weather. Granted there were a few days that were warmer than I like still though overall it has been beautiful. The last few falls have been marked by big rain storms that have created flood conditions and made everything soggy. We have had a couple of big rains but they were one day events that only brought water levels up to normal. I stopped by the St. George early this week and noted that the water level is almost perfect for late fall trout fishing.
