I attended the Maine Tourism conference for the last couple of days. It got me to thinking. About my long connection to the tourism industry. Granted, not many guides consider themselves to be part of tourism but that is changing, there were a few working guides in attendance. The simple fact is we are and have been since the beginning.
This morning we woke up to a coating of ice and frost. Not really a surprise, it rained yesterday and well into the evening changed to wet snow. Temperature in the upper 20’s. Not unusual for Maine in late April. The morning was bright and clear if a little chilly with almost no wind. I decided to take advantage of my semi-retired status and go fish on Megunticook Lake for a few hours.
Last fall I wrote about an encounter with a big pike where my equipment was not up to the task of landing one of those big fish (An October Fish Story!). This spring I have been on the hunt with heavier gear, bigger flies and lures. This afternoon I succeeded in landing one!
