You may have read this spring that I was taking on a new adventure by issuing clients fishing licenses electronically. Including licenses in my trips accomplishes two goals for Maine Outdoors. First is making it easy to go on a trip by eliminating the need to get a license beforehand.
I spent part of this afternoon replacing the floating fly lines on the rods I use to teach fly casting. Makes a huge difference in casting distance I hope that my students on Friday will be casting like pros in an hour or so. I clean lines regularly but still they get stepped on, the coating gets broken and after about a year they're hard to cast.
As a working guide I frequently get asked a lot of outdoors questions by not only by clients but my friends and even folks I only sort of know. Sometimes about the laws and rules but more often about local natural events. Such as are the alewives in the river? Are the bass spawning? What are those ducks at the end of the pond?
