Hello everyone,
Sorry that I have been tardy posting during this most important part of the fly fishing season, but my wife and I purchased a new home quite suddenly and that means trying to spruce up and sell our current home. No, I am not talking about our Kennebago Lake retreat but our winter home in Cumberland. New abode is on Dundee Pond, an impoundment of the Presumpscot River in Windham.
New winter house on Dundee Pond
Let me give a quick shout out to Deerfield Fly Shop on the lower Deerfield River in Massachusetts (www.deerfieldflyshop.com). They now stock all three of my books. If you have never floated the Deerfield River, I highly recommend it. Not only is it full of trout, but the river fishes well almost all year, when most of our home rivers are either too cold or too hot. This is due to the fact that the water is fed by a bottom-release dam. Contact the Deerfield Fly Shop for more information
Across all of New England, the last two weeks of May featured more of the same in regards to weather – cloudy, wet, and cold. Water temperatures in the Rangeley area struggled to rise out of the 40’s and hatches were sparse. Most rivers ran high enough to be unfishable. We even had a frost on June 1.

My daughter, Mary’s handprint melts the solid frost on the picnic table at Kennebago early June 1st morning.
The best fishing was where trout and salmon were still chasing smelt, or feeding on sucker spawn. The lower Mags and Camp 10 Bridge fished fine after the flow went down, as did small ponds where the water warmed more quickly.
Not a great photo because we wanted to put the fish back in the water quickly, but Wilderness Press editor of all of my books, Josh holds a 19 inch very fat brookie, caught on sucker spawn.
On a small trib of Kennebago lake, we found good trout still on the lookout for smelt. This fish took a smelt version of the Cosohammer Streamer.
As we enter early June, things are picking up. Water temps have reached 50 and hatches are beginning in earnest, although we are at least two weeks behind. Leaves aren’t even out yet at Kennebago. With flows good and warmer temps forecast, fishing should improve. A few salmon are even being caught on the lower Kennebago River.I will give a further update next week.
