Speaking this evening
I was asked last minute to speak to the monthly meeting of the Penobscot Fly Fishers tonight. They offered a free meal and the chance to talk about anything I wanted to a gathering of I expect about a dozen folks. This is my big chance what will I tell them?

September has been busy and the weather mostly nice. We did have some rain (not enough) but many days gave us nearly perfect temperatures and clear skies. I have been on the water with clients most days this months and almost every party asks “where is everybody?”. Not a change from normal from where I sit. I think that many consider summer to be over as soon as Labor Day passes.
There can be no doubt about it now, fall is here. The signs have been there that it was on the horizon for some time, fewer family fishing trips, the changing light and even needing to find my headlamp so I can see to prepare for trips in the morning. This September has been busy like the last few but without the pressure of needing to change gears and prepare to be at Libby Camps for a month it was easier.
