Hello Everyone,
It has obviously been a long time since I have posted. As I am sure most of you have been doing, I have prioritized learning and understanding what has been going on with COVID – 19. After that, I focused on ensuring my extended family was safely situated, my wife and I were stocked with what we needed, and our financial affairs were in order – given the turbulence of the financial markets.
Now it is a waiting game, and since many of us are cooped up at home worried about what the next month will look like, fly fishing is a great diversion – either reading and viewing stuff on line or actually going fishing! I will do my part to provide a diversion by posting as much content as I can over the next few weeks, so check back frequently.
Fishing Report
February and early March continued New England’s warmer-than-normal winter and in southern Maine, rivers and lake margins were free of ice by mid-March. The only snow remaining was in patches in the shade of conifers. The Maine mountains and northern Maine enjoyed winter weather much closer to normal with a few good snows, so a good snow pack remains with lakes and ponds still locked up tight.
This last week, the weather has turned much colder with nights in the mid teens even in southern Maine witha good snowstorm thrown in for good measure, This has delayed ice-out on many water bodies, at least for a little while.
The governor of Maine, Janet Mills, a enthusiastic angler herself, opened up the fishing season one week early, and cooped-up kids, families, and unemployed folks found the nearest open water quickly. Near my home on the upper Presumpscot River, the popular stretches of nearby rivers and ponds looked like a scene from Memorial Day weekend. Of course, with the water temps in the high 30’s, few people connected with fish, but it didn’t really matter. My daughter’s boyfriend, Will, did take a kayak out on North Gorham Pond and landed a 16-inch landlocked salmon.
