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.
I think because of the great weather I have been getting inquiries about fall fishing opportunities several times a week. Hopefully the pattern will hold and I’ll be able to guide all of the trips that I currently have scheduled. This morning’s forecast looks a little ominous with the remnants of tropical storm Noel possibly arriving this weekend with wind and a good rain. Luckily I am not duck hunting next week as I am sure the wind and swells would be something to contend with for a few days.
I have been puttering away at putting in the winter firewood on the last few warm days, and am headed back up to Libby Camps for a final group of upland bird hunters this weekend. Hopefully I’ll enjoy more great fall weather into next week.

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.
