Every year I make an effort to fish on each of the waters I guide on at least once before guiding clients there. Not bad duty on a nice day. Yesterday I fished Megunticook Lake in Camden for the first time this spring. 
New England is famous for the changeable weather but this spring takes it to the extreme. In the last week we have had warm sun, snow, rain and of course clouds and wind to make the picture complete. In spite of the variety this spring seems to be coming a week or two ahead of normal For those that fish the rivers and streams the alder leaves will be the size of a mouse’s ear after a couple more sunny days. It will then be time to chase trout in the river. Actually I have heard a few good reports lately but got rained out on my most recent attempt to check the fishing personally.
Yesterday afternoon was warm with a light breeze out of the north. I decided to take the afternoon off and make sure that I had everything I needed to guide fishing trips. There was not a lot of sun but there were bright blue patches in between the clouds and of course a few rain showers (it is April after all). I fished Seven Tree Pond and Round Ponds in Union.
