August has brought with it several bouts of cool weather. I spent a couple days up at Kennebago Lake and the high temperatures for the day, even with partial sunshine struggled to reach 60 with a hefty breeze making it feel cooler. Rains showers and thunderstorms have increased soil moisture from very dry levels and started to raise rivers and streams. I fished the Kennebago River several mornings and the water temps were in the mid-60’s, very fishable. The few salmon residing in the river were active. I caught a very nice 18 incher on a size 14 Puterbaugh Caddis and he must have jumped 5 or 6 times. I missed several more. Other anglers have shared similar stories.

I also heard from someone that saw big trout trapping blacknose dace against rocks on the Kennebago Lake shoreline and then hammering them. Last night my son-in-law landed a 17- inch salmon on the lake after spotting a pool of rising salmon and casting a small dry to the lead fish. I can guarantee you that surface water temperatures are much cooler that a year ago at this time. On the morning of  August 31, Kennebago Lake surface temperature was 64.

On August 29, the heavy rain missed the mountains but they did pick up one-half to three-quarters of an inch. However, for Labor Day weekend, water levels are extremely low. We really need a good 2- inch rainstorm to raise water levels. A chance of rain on Monday, so we will see what happens.

I also fished the lower Magalloway River in late August, below the Rte. 16 Bridge. Water flow was perfect as were water temps in the low to mid 60’s. I didn’t find many fish, however. I was fishing mid-day and it was very bright, so that didn’t help matters any. I did hook a couple of very nice smallies.
