It has been too long since I posted, the result of my house move. Moving to a new house after 20 years in the old one is not a simple process. Just moving my fly-fishing library required six boxes. But I am thrilled with my new house on Dundee Pond in Windham. Now, whether I am there or up at Kennebago, I will always be on the water.

Drake Hatches

Hatches across Maine were late this year because of the cold and rainy spring, but when summer weather finally arrived so did the large mayflies. On June 28th, the brown drakes started emerging on the far northeast shore of Kennebago Lake on Blanchard Cove. A large number of 12 to 16 inch salmon with some brook trout as well were on them. Occasionally, a bigger fish was caught. Each of the three or four boats down there over the next few days boated a dozen salmon at least in several hours.

The salmon were not huge but they were feisty, often jumping four or more times.

Over the next week, sporadic brown drake hatches moved up the lake. On July 10th, right opposite my camp on the western edge of Kennebago Lake, I had a brown drake hatch all to myself and caught one trout after another. The trout maxed out in size at 12 inches, but they eagerly ate a Royal Wulff. I did see a few huge rises but didn’t ever really get a cast to them.

To me, a Royal Wulff looks nothing like an emerging brown drake, but to a trout…

As July has progressed a variety of large mayflies continue to emerge across Maine. Can anyone identify these beauties?

You know it is midsummer in Maine when the Hexes show up.
