To say that the weather has been unpredictable over the last three weeks would be a bland understatement. I have been fishing in Rangeley, the Deboullie Mountain area in northern Maine, West-Central Vermont, and southern Maine, I have experienced 90’s in northern Maine that never see those temperatures. I have woken up to temps. in the lower 40’s. I have fished rivers so low that they looked like they did during the drought of late last summer, and fished in rising waters that threatened to wash me away. This is not exactly a shocker, but the fishing during this time has been all over the place – crazy good or horrendous. For example….

In late June, the fishing on Kennebago River below the Dam was really slow for big fish. Even Grant’s Camps newsletter said that the big fish were few and far between. The river was low, at mid-summer level, so the salmon hadn’t migrated in from the lake. Then we got a little rain and had two really cold nights – mid 40’s by morning. I decided to try the river during the middle of the day – bright sunshine – and saw not a single rise in my favorite pool. No one else was fishing the river because the biting insects were persistent and the lake was experiencing the annual brown drake hatch. I had the river to myself, but so what.

Boy, did things change in a hurry, when I started prospecting by high-stick nymphing or swinging a wet fly through some of my favorite runs. Without getting into excrutiating details, the fishing started so hot that I stopped, went and got my wife, returned with her and we both continued fishing. Three hours later, when we stopped fishing, together we had landed 25 good-sized salmon and a few wallhanger trout. The only explanation I can come with is that the rain brought some fish into the river and they all moved together in one school and moved rapidly up river to where cooler water was coming in that had been exposed to the cold night air. Since, insect activity was minimal, they were hungry and in feeding mode, and hadn’t seen a fly. It is the best fishing on the Kennebago we have ever had. A picture is worth a thousand words so …

In early July at Red River Camps in the Deboullie Mountains it was either way to hot to fish (surface water temps. in the 80’s) or too windy (when temps dropped from 93 to 43 in 36 hours) so I practiced photography instead..

The recent warmer weather has accelerated ice out and most lakes and ponds are ice free with the exception of the mountains and the far north. Ice Out is any day now on Azischos, Rangeley,  and Kennebego. With rain in the forecast, it won’t be long.

While just a few days ago, water temperatures in streams and rivers were still in the low 40’s even in southern Maine, the temps yesterday in the high 80’s changed that. While water temps are warming some rivers and streams are very high. For example, most rivers in Vermont are unfishable due to continued rain and snow melt. With rain in the forecast over the next few days, rivers that are high won’t drop much.

I haven’t done much fishing in Maine because I was in Florida fishing for Spanish Mackerel,Jack Crevalle,  Redfish, and Sea Trout. All those fish pull hard when hooked, which more than makes up for the fact that sometimes fishing the salt with a fly rod is an exercise in patience and frustration.

Congratulations to one and all fly fishers – We made it to the start of another fly-fishing season. I was in Massachusetts last week and the snow was mostly gone and the rivers looked somewhat fishable. Not so much in Maine, where most waters are still locked up tight with snow and ice. The snow is melting quickly though as are the south-facing edges of ponds and lakes. It won’t be long until fishing options expand exponentially.

Let me update you on some news….

I was at the Maine Sportsman’s Booth yesterday (Friday) and at the Sebago Lake Trout Unlimited Event last Saturday, so I was able to catch up with some of you, which is always fun.

I will be presenting “Advanced Tactics and Strategies for Difficult and Pressured Trout” on April 12th for the Nashua Flycasters Association.

After 16 years, I am ready to concentrate on other aspects of fly fishing. I may still guide informally (without pay) for charity or other reasons but for those of you who want to hire me as a paid guide, sorry but I will not be available. I will, however, be assisting folks who are interested with their fishing plans, get them connected with good guides, and even sometimes meet them for breakfast the night before or morning of their excursions, so you can still leverage my expertise and knowledge of the New England area. It won’t cost you anything (lodging and guides pay me a finders fee}. So contact me if you are interested I’m me helping you. I enjoy helping people have successful trips.

My first book, ” Flyfishing Northern New England’s Seasons” is sold out of it’s 3rd printing so it will be a while until it is back in stock. I am making some updates to it so if you don’t have this book yet, I am excited to be able to offer an updated version soon.

Finally, I have been remiss in posting a number of cool videos on this site and on YouTube, so look in the not to distant future for more videos. Happy fishing season.

For those of you wondering why I haven’t posted a blog in two months, I will explain. Caught the flu in early January while traveling to present at various fly-fishing shows. My computer melted down. And just when I was feeling better, it was time to head off to New Zealand for almost a month, arriving back home a few days ago.

So we have lots to catch up on. Fishing season is only a few weeks away and this is when people start asking me for my best guess concerning ice-out and when fly fishing will really start in Maine. The winter started out really cold in Maine – minus 20 and colder in Rangeley for a number of nights- and I thought ice-out would be late. Then we had a warmish, rainyish February, and I thought ice-out might be early. Now we are having a very snowy March and since snow insulates the ice, now I’m thinking ice-out might be more or less at the normal time for whichever body of water you fish.

Updates on my author- related activities….I have an article “A Guide’s Manual to Big Brook Trout” in the March/April issue of American Angler. I haven’t heard much from anybody about it. Has anybody seen it? Also in the same issue is a feature on my guide friend Abbie Schuster from Kismet Outfitters. In the current March issue of The Maine Sportsman, I have my bi-monthly column – this one entitled “Lou’s Ten Fly-fishing Resolutions.”

The Western Maine Fly Fishing Expo takes place next weekend on March 17 in Bethel Maine where I will be giving a talk on “Tactics for fishing Highly Pressured Waters for Difficult and Educated Fish”. Also my wife, Lindsey will be giving a talk on Climate Change and its impacts on forests and fisheries in the Northeast.

The Trip to New Zealand was fantastic despite some very challenging weather in the form of big storms with rain and wind. Will go into it in more detail in the future but here are a few photos, my wife with her best fish of the trip (a rainbow) and my best fish (a brown) as well. I estimate that both were over four pounds
