This spring is coming fast and early. Without checking my records it seems like we are at least a week ahead of recent years. The daffodils bloomed here in the yard last week, the maple trees are in bloom and by next weekend the lawn will need to be mowed.
The new fishing rule book just arrived. Rulebooks for each season land here because Maine Outdoors is a license agent and licenses when required are included in the price of our fishing trips. Most noticeable is the cover of the new book, not a photo but rather a reminder in big letters across the cover that this book is good for two years and not to throw it away.
Argy Noah and I hiked to the top of Maiden Cliff in Camden. The cliff is very plain from the lake and I usually point out the cross high up on the cliff face to clients on fishing trips. I also recommend the short hike up the trail for the view; you can see out over Penobscot Bay for some distance and look down on the lake.
