It is hard to believe that October is all but here, meaning that my summer season is fast drawing to a close.

The leaves have noticeably started to change and with the perfect weather we have been enjoying the next few weeks should be spectacular. I was fortunate to guide a couple of days of hiking this week (story below) and was able to appreciate how perfect this fall is.
Please take a few minutes and get out to enjoy the Maine Outdoors at the best time of year!

This morning was a treat, first because AJ is very polite and lets me fish. This means of course that I am not really guiding but fishing. Sometimes the boat is out of position or drifting while I play a fish, with no complaint from AJ. Second we caught several pretty large fish. Read the article
