All of the signs of the impending change in season are here. The air has cleared and the humidity seems to be gone. Union Fair is underway and the traffic is at the annual peak in town. On the river the cardinal flowers have nearly gone by and the arrowhead is in full bloom. Over the last week the numbers of painted turtles sunning on almost every rock and log along the river has been nothing short of amazing as they take full advantage of the sunny weather. Here and there a maple has already given up the season and is now turning a brilliant red. My calendar begins to have a few open afternoons as kids gradually return to school and families are no longer vacationing. While I am a little sorry not to be busy a little rest is much appreciated.
Now is the time to look forward to clear crisp mornings with warm days filled with outstanding smallmouth bass fishing. I have already taken reservations from a number of fly fisherman looking enjoy this outstanding time of year and am looking forward to sharing the golden days of autumn with them.

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.
When It frrezes over Come on Down to Florida
Very nice site and nice Largemouth photo. If it gets to cold come on down my way to Florida for some awesome Largemouth fishing.
