Before I give you the fishing report, a few housekeeping items to cover. First, don’t forget to follow me @mainelyflyfishing on Instagram. Interesting photos posted almost every day.I am in cell phone range. Second, here are other locations that you can find my books signed by me: Northwoods Outfitters in Greenville, Maine, Matagamon Campground near Shin Pond, Maine, and Sherman Book and Stationary in Freeport, Maine (and their four other affiliated bookstore locations),
As for the fishing report….Bugs are emerging everywhere and that means good fishing and possible anemia from blood loss due to biting insects. In certain locations, the mosquitos and blackflies are the worst in decades due to the cool and wet spring. I was up in northern Baxter State Park camping and fishing Webster Stream and the black flies and mosquitos were epic. I had to wear what was literally like a beekeepers suit for three straight days. If you exposed the back of your hand for five seconds without moving it, a half dozen mosquitos would land on it.
This is always a frustrating time for me because so many fishing options exist and one has only so much time. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are still in the shallows. Stripers have arrived along the Maine coast. Stocked fisheries still have good water flow and plenty of stockers left to catch. Wild trout and salmon have moved into many rivers and are biting aggressively. Calm evenings in Northern New England’s ponds and lakes bring rises to early season mayflies and caddis. Decisions, decisions – where to fish.
This is the time of year when I receive many inquiries from readers concerning where to fish. My answer is always (1) choose the type of fishing that you want to do- (2) find a convenient type of water that offers that type of fishing, (3) try it, and if you don’t find action fairly quickly, go to your second choice, and last but not least (4) dress for biting insects! I will post more when I am not heading to the water, but here are a selection of photos that demonstrate the diversity of fly fishing that mark this time of year.

My daughter, Mary, with a beautiful brook trout caught on the always productive Royal Wulff fly pattern by casting to an undercut bank.
Fishing isn’t always just about the catching. Along Webster Stream in Baxter State Park were the most gorgeous white lady slippers. A Lady Slipper is actually an orchid but one adapted to live in the northeastern US and Canada. When you closely examine its leaves and flower then it is obvious that it has a distinct orchid look to it.
