Back from the book tour with ice-out prediction, new fly fishing classes

Posted on by

I have lots of information to share in this blog. First of all, I am going to make my first ice-out prediction – ice-out will be late this year, possibly later than it has been for over ten years. I am guessing later than May 7. Last week someone sampled the ice on Little Kennebago Lake and found it over three feet thick.

With cold temperatures this winter and not a huge amount of snow to insulate the ice, the ice is really thick and will take longer to melt given normal spring conditions.

I am back from my travels to various fly fishing shows and trout unlimited meetings, giving presentations and signing books. It was a lot of fun connecting with many eager fly fishers, as well as fellow authors.

I am adding a guiding calendar this year so people can see what days I have open for guiding. Look for it on my site. Right now I am open May 10,11,12,14,15,16,18,19, 21,22, 29, 30, 31 and June 1-4, 15-27. July is wide open at this point.

I would like to announce that this year, in addition to standard guiding days, I will be offering one-day fly fishing instructional classes based on strategies and tactics outlined in my book, “Fly-fishing the Seasons of Northern New England”. The day will consist of eight hours – two hours of streamer tactics, two hours of dry fly instruction, two hours of nymphing lessons, and two hours of specialized tactics (micropatterns and other approaches). While we will be trying to catch fish, the emphasize will be on instruction.

Location will be the Rangeley area (specifics depend on season and where people are staying). The class size will be 3-5 people and cost $125 per person. I will do a class of 2 but the cost will be $150 each. If you let me know your preferred dates, I will try to put appropriate sized classes together.

Book signing schedule released for January; nice review from Amazon reader

Posted on by

Since my book has been released, I have been doing some traveling to various fly fishing venues to give presentations and sign books. I attended the Flyfishing Show in Marlborough Massachusetts. I will be doing a presentation at the Sebago Lake Chapter of Trout Unlimited Meeting on January 21. I will be presenting on January 24, 25, and 26 at the Flyfishing Show in Somerset New Jersey.

Books are available now at Amazon, the Rangeley Sports Shop, and directly from me. As I learn of other outlets, I will pass them on. I anticipate LL Bean soon. The book has received some nice reviews (even from readers not friends or relatives!) Here is one from Amazon…

This review is from: Flyfishing Northern New England’s Seasons (Kindle Edition)

Destined to become required reading for anyone flyfishing Northern New England whether they are fishing the region for the first time or a veteran of fishing the region for many years. Unless one has the time to fish the area 100 days a year in every season for at least the next decade the information in this book will save you years of trial and error, frustration and fishless days! A book like this has been a long time coming’!

In the 1964 comedy film MAN’S FAVORITE SPORT the protagonist, George Willoughby, is a renowned angling expert who is harboring a secret… HE HAS NEVER FISHED!!! The author of this book is clearly NOT THAT GUY!!!Zambello is without doubt the real deal whose knowledge is the result of time on the water. I have flyfished the region covered on this book for over 50 years… particularly the Rangeley region..and the advice he offers is rock solid. I’ve learned more than a few new tricks and a bunch of new fly patterns from this book. Flyfishing the region has evolved exponentially
since the days of casting a GRAY GHOST, swinging a PARMACHENE BELLE, or floating a devil bug on a brook trout pond. The author covers Czech and European nymphing techniques, midge fishing, and fishing the sucker spawn (in the past a topic on which those in the know weren’t talking’). Great information on the best times to fish in terms of weather patterns and time
of day. I only wish I had a book like this 50 years ago!!!

Czech-ing in on N.Y. steelhead fishing; Lou’s new book released

Posted on by
steelhead

This beautiful steelhead was caught in upstate New York using a Czech nymphing technique.

This November I did a bit of traveling and did not fish as much as I normally would in Maine. I did hit the Presumpscot River one morning and nymphed up a couple brown trout.

I then spent four days fishing for steelhead in upstate New York on the Canadaway River. The weather was cold but the fish were there and willing, off and on. Most of the fish were caught on a pink plastic bead (egg imitation) fished under a strike indicator. Others were caught Czech nymphing style on a two fly rig – the point fly was a pink foam egg and the dropper was a black soft-hackle leech imitation. The beautiful fish in the picture was hooked Czech nymphing and took the pink foam egg (with 5x tippet).

The Steelhead were quite active and I did a fair amount of following them downstream (and sometimes upstream) in order to land them. It helps to have a large net. Sometimes though I had no net and had to hand land them.

October features slow fishing, great weather

Posted on by

Early October continued the trend of warm and dry weather. Rivers and streams remained low and with bright, sunny, and warm conditions, the fish were spooky. One day at Upper Dam, as a client drifted a streamer over a sunken log, I could see a number of fish huddled in the shade under the log flash up and take a look at the fly before hurrying back to cover. The weather did make it glorious to be outside and the foliage was spectacular in places. There were fish to be had in the Rangeley River but one had to stalk them quietly in the low water and fish the smallest nymphs with a long leader.

I can’t really report much about the middle of the month because I was off to Montana for fishing The Big Hole, the Madison, and several creeks.

Unlike Maine, the weather out there was 15 to 20 degrees below normal with spitting snow every day. Still, the unsettled days brought some pretty good hatches of midges and Baetis at times and we caught fish.
Further south, Inland Fish and Wildlife has stocked the upper Presumpscot and Royal Rivers with a variety of fish and once the fish get acclimated, fishing should be a lot of fun. I caught a nice brown this morning, nymphing on the Presumpscot. For information about this good fishing spot, see my column in the November issue of the Maine Sportsman.

September fishing wraps up with warm temps, large fish in rivers

Fall Salmon

Ben Sturtevant releases a nice Kennebago River Salmon during a mid-September outing.

In the Rangeley area, the rest of September remained dry and seasonally warm. While lots of rain fell all around Maine, it seemed to miss our area. One good rain fell in the middle of the month, and that along with a few nights of cold temperatures, did start the fish moving.The Kennebago and the Mags had large fish present throughout the river system by the middle of the month.

The size of the salmon this fall was very good with most fish 15 inches and above and very fat. It shows that there are plenty of smelt in the lakes for the salmon to feed on. With lower water flows and many fishermen, the fish wised up quickly  and while some lucky anglers enjoyed fast action, most worked diligently to land a few fish. The fish landed though were usually of good size. Fresh fish into the rivers were suckers for marabou streamers in white or grey. Later on as they wised up, nymphs, small soft hackles, and wood specials worked better. Hornbergs fished wet and large attractor dries such as Royal Wulff’s took their share of fish.

It was a windy month and many days the lakes were difficult to fish although the fish were in the shallows most of the month. The foliage started peaking the last few days of the month. How our climate is changing. 25 years ago when I fished the Rangeley area the last week of the month, most the leaves had fallen from the trees and it frequently spit snow or sleet. Today it is in the high 60’s.

Early October should bring good fishing in waters that are still open. Water temperatures and flows will be reasonable. The long term weather forecast looks benign

It pays to be creative to avoid fishing crowded spots

Posted on by

I have been busy guiding so I haven’t had a chance to update this blog. Fishing weather has been very interesting this year. Seasonably hot and dry weather for weeks and then cold, dreary, rainy weather for weeks. Shortly after ice-out, water temps warmed quickly and then with the cold, wet weather, they went the other way. Suckers showed up almost at the same time as the smelt. Midges started hatching but not much else. Water levels in Rangeley area lakes were low because anticipated heavy run-off never occurred. Now water levels are rising so most everything is backwards.

Fishing has been excellent at the Rapid, Magalloway, Rangeley River, #10 bridge, etc. because in places suckers showed up about the same time as the smelt and anglers did well fishing streamers and nymphing. Lots of fishermen though so fish got pounded quickly and moved. Appeared and disappeared. Anglers that hit it right did amazing while others just a day later were disappointed. I have never seen so many fishermen at the usual spots. I am afraid that the age of instant communication means that more people find out more quickly where the fishing is good. I have a video of 24 folks surrounding one group of fish on the Rapid. I counted 6 cars at the snowmobile bridge on the Maggalloway. One morning there were 12 fishing number 10 bridge. This certainly takes away from any sort of “back to nature experience”

You can buy Bluze capsules from reputed online pharmacies in purchase cialis the U.S. if you are in the U.S. . I have two suggestions when there are many fisher people about. The first is to fish different techniques or flies than everyone else. I guided a client at the snowmobile bridge on the middle Mags and there were 4 guys there all nymphing. My client fished streamers exclusively and caught some nice fish. Later we went down to #10 and everyone was nymphing or casting streamers and we did well on salmon swinging wet flies. Don’t be afraid to try something different.

Don’t be afraid to fish different water. I fished an area last week where the fish in several popular pools were very jaded from a lot of fishing pressure. I fished a skinny run nearby and had it to myself and caught many trout. They were smaller but eager and I had a good time.
