October means grouse hunters for me and a lot of running for the dogs. One of the challenges in late September is always clearing enough time in my day to do a little walking in the woods with each dog. I have been managing to squeeze in a couple of hours here and there over the last few weeks.

No longer a secret, Maine is nationally known for bass fishing. Fish for smallmouths in secluded ponds with rocky shorelines. These aggressive fish are acrobatic and tireless. Largemouths lurk in weedy ponds and along lazy stretches of our rivers. Pick your passion bass can be taken with light spinning gear or flies.
