One job that needs to be done every fall is getting the winter supply of firewood stacked in the garage. It is not an especially hard job to complete but it takes a fair amount of time with the cutting, splitting and stacking. I have always liked to have it all done in September but for the last several years it seems to be finished in November. As the fall has become a busier season it seems like there is always some other priority. As of suppertime yesterday though I am finished with firewood for this fall.
Yesterday I guided a couple of fisherman from Texas. I decided to try Megunticook because of the recent stockings of rainbow trout and the fact that it would be less affected by the recent rains and high water. We started around 11:30 and launched at Bog Brook with no problem plenty of water for the 20’ Lund. We fished in the west end of the lake and caught 6 Rainbows the largest about 14” and 8 Bass all largemouth up to about three pounds (a surprise to me) in three hours.
I finished my upland bird hunting season at Libby Camps on Saturday. Luckily my hunter wanted to finish early that afternoon which allowed me to leave by three in the afternoon. The forecast was for snow up there and I am sure that they got some; the precipitation was a mixture of rain and snow as I drove south until Medway. I drove through wind and rain but made it home safe and sound by eight.
